After looking at your blue plate,

I am starting considering buying some too!
Hopefully is the euro very strong these days so I am able to buy more teaware!

That blue plate/bowl was just in our cupboard already. lol. I was looking for a shallow bowl to brew in with my YiXing - it helps keep the temp up and I had a recalcitrant old shen that needed some heat to open. I found this bowl/plate on the top serving bowl shelf. So I'm learning to appreciate what I have as well as wanting new stuff I guess. :)

Ya, the Euro is strong against the dollar nowdays. Even the Canadian Dollar is higher than ours. :( I'm looking to plan our anual trip up to Vancover (beautiful city and only about 3 hours away from Seattle) and it's looking much more expensive than usual. I fear it will only get worse.

btw, do you mind disclosing your sources for all this wonderful stuff. are you doing yahoo japan, or japan ebay or something?

All the teaware I bought recently was bought on ebay (not the japanese version) and rikuycha (which has a store on ebay). If you want the precise names of the sellers, PM me, but it could be dangerous for your wallet...

Yeah! nice photo and setup. my second favorite yixing is a yellow one shaped very similar that I use for green oolongs. That tea color is beautiful.

Is that the kind of filter with the double screen? Does it work well for you? I have had terrible luck with those, though they are prettier and often come with nice filter holders. They plug up too easily. The cheap tin ones are my faves.

GeekGirl, what table is that? I have been looking for something a little smaller than mine. That one looks about right.

Salsero: Single screen just like my tin one. It didn't come with a holder and it was pretty cheap ~ $3.

Brandon: Overpaid at Tao of Tea. I like it, but wish I would have ordered from SensationalTeas instead. They have several small ones.

That seal may be the single corniest thing I've ever seen on the internet.

Well done, Sal. You've raised the bar.

That's me: jaw dropping bad taste: always raising that bar lower!
