Saturday TeaDay 1/30/10 More tea and teaware than space?

I often give mystery theme tea parties, so I need lots of tea cups and teapots.

That sounds interesting... how does it work?

Yep, do tell! And welcome to the forum!

Seems that every available space was taken so we created more ... and more. One thing I found out a long time ago with tea and teaware, out of siight is definitely out of mind. Thus I want to be able to see as much as possible, and of course it has to look appealing.

I would say that half the kitchen is "dedicated" to tea and teaware ... mostly Japanese. The next room, a psuedo living room has an area dedicated to other teawares and teas, mostly Chinese.

So, pretty set for now.

Began the TD with a second trial tasting of organic Kabuse from O-Cha, this stuff is really bangin'. One of the best organics I have tried. Served up in a Deishi Shira Wan. Next up, a tasting with Mrs. Chip of Zencha Fuga LE served up in Seigan Ice Split.

Next ...

Update: Adagio's Oriental Spice as post-dinner tea. Just one of the new ones left to go, I'm debating trying it tonight or waiting until tomorrow. At this point I'll probably wait until tomorrow.

I have a whole "treasure chest" full of tea, which is actually a bad thing because I'm afraid some flavors will "seep" into others, even though they are separated by tins/bags/whatever. I lead a hard life, I know
