I have the matching gaiwan along with those cups...Vulture wrote:No I got them separate. I am looking to start collecting dragon teaware. The overall pattern of 'sea dragon' is the same but otherwise the gaiwan and cups are different. The cups are a slight blue glaze with a slightly different pattern. But either way I like em.
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!
I just now saw that the New Mexico Tea Co is carrying this blue dragon set with the matching aroma cup sets! Together or separate.

Here's my new tea table from YSLLC. It really is beautiful in person, I think the pictures do it good justice. It's simple but feels really elegant and well made, for ~$20. Pictured is some of the Da Hong Pao also from YSLLC, which I will be ordering more of without a doubt.
P.S. If you notice in the upper left corner, that is the bag of DHP that I got (100g). Just to point this out to save anyone a surprise who might be upon ordering, this is exactly the way it comes (In a zip lock bag, within another zip lock bag) which is quite fine for shipping but you will want something to put it in once you get it, like a tea canister or anything that will protect it, atleast better then a plastic bag.
Another pic, if you notice in the upper right corner of this one, my cat tried to make an appearance.

Thanks for that heads-up Sal, as I was planning on getting the 250g size next time around.Salsero wrote:Great tea table. It really is very striking. If you order the 250 gr DHP you get it in a mylar bag with Chinese writing and pictures. Love the ghost cat!
Aren't many of the best pictures completly accidental?
