I can always collect more Pu-erh, so tea it is for me...
Got some Rose Pu-erh with me tonight at work.

Good memory Sal. Yes, we used the bodum glasses for espresso at a restaurant I used to work at. They held up very well to all sorts of abuse.Salsero wrote:Wow, defective glasses. Trioxin has said that they use them in the restaurant where he works, where they receive really heavy use and go through the industrial dishwasher after every use, yet look great and last forever ... unless you drop them from a height, of course.
You guys got a bad batch. By all means return, exchange, complain, gripe, get replacements. They are not supposed to be like that. Wouldn't hurt to refer them to this thread, BTW, when you register your complaint.
As for the topic, I'm not much for Christmas, so I don't have an answer.
Currently drinking a 2008 Xiaguan FT "Imperial Tribute" Raw Pu-erh
Just got home from a baby-catching expedition... lil girl, and i mean lil... 5 lb 13 oz. Very cute. Mom is 16. Babies having babies.
I answered a tea brewing vessel... because i really would love to have that Adagio concert teapot AND a nice gyokuro vessel AND a couple of yixing pots.
But I also want some Bodum pavinas... and a Zoji water heater. And tea. Greedy!
As for Bodum, I bought 2 pieces at a William Sonoma... broke one before it ever held a drop of liquid, and while it was mostly my fault for being careless, I thought the glass was very fragile and shattered with minimal impact. But it might have been the shape, it was a larger-sized cup with a handle. The other piece... I haven't seen in a while. It must be tucked in the back of my cabinet... will have to look later.
Drinking some mugicha before I sleep... abundent caffeine disrupted my sleep last night, which hardly ever happens.
Sweet dreams and Happy Tea Day to all,
Sarah

Wow, this thread had a lot of responses already this morning...! I hadn't thought about it, so that's how I voted. But of course, now with the question asked, I *have* thought about it. I guess I'd go with tea, but to be honest, right now I'm actually up to my eyeballs in everything tea-related, so I'm not that hard-pressed for more.....
I did have my first casualty this morning, though. My first tea to finish off completely was Adagio's ali shan sample tea. It was a combination of me enjoying it, and the fact that I brewed it strongly

Been thinking about this for ages and have decided I will treat myself to some Matcha and matcha wares this christmas, as it is still unexplored territory for me! Just had a really nice few steeps of my last 3g of Yutaka Midori blended with 1.5g of gyokuro shou-un. Started at 65 degrees C, 160ml, 1.5 mins and gradully increased both, fantastic! Jack
In my cup this morning -
Adagio fujian baroque
Happy Friday!!

Not sure what I want. I think I voted for tea, but I might not wait that long. I will probably end up getting another gaiwan or 2 as well as a tray.
This morning I'm trying the Wuyi Ensemble from Adagio. Very good. Probably going to get more. I think I need to try a couple of Wuyi (Yancha?) teas. Any favs?
