Re: Mini Ru Kiln Celeste Celadon Gaiwan 60ml From DTH

I'll grab one of these next time I order and report back. I just cant help but think the small high heat retention would be lush for Roasted Wuyi. I got a RU kiln very thick 120ml cup here that I can handle just fine with 90c water in it and this can only be easier.

I used to own this exact one a while back. It was my favorite gong fu ware for myself. It took some time to get used to it but I found it great when sampling high end teas. I never liked it for sheng but everything else was grand. I swear everything tasted a bit more sweeter from it a touch more enhanced. After a while the cicada starts to show I cant find a pic of that but its beautiful. On the downside it does get hot and requires some skill in handling :mrgreen:

the listing has ended and Gordon says he only has 3 left. I managed to reserve one but he's not getting anymore.

Edit: right now he's saying they are all sold. So that's that :(

Seems someone bought the last one as a result of this thread.

= karma right there :mrgreen:

There is a french DTH that I think may still have some so I'll track one down. Didnt realise these things were limited :s

Bought one for the french DTH only to be told 10 mins after paying that he didnt have any :evil:

Maybe take the listing down?

Not impressed. Oh well. seems these things are pretty limited so I've missed out. I have tracked down someone selling a 75ml version though which looks great....also a moon white 110ml which is temping me.

Funny how we want something more when we realize we can't have it.
:shock: I'm pining over some celadon from Hou De that is now gone.
Somewhere in the whole wide world I know there is more. Very frustrating.

That's so true. I was in no rush to buy it but when it went and Gordon told me that all ru kiln was limited I instantly needed it to make my life better :D

I'm not even going to post the ones I have lined up now till I've bought them :p

I like the first gaiwan better, but not the cups so much. Don't care for their shape. decisions, decisions. :)

I already took care of that. The vendor is willing to break up the set.

Then go for it! You were worried the original was a little too small right?

Yay bought it. It was the only one he had and he was willing to split the set. And he was very nice about it. Its on its way!

thanks for the input Victoria
