Shameless showoff today...

This is my new YiXing pot, I'm tasting my latest roasting experiment before sending it off in the oolong box. :D

I was down at the international district this weekend and saw this pot back on the office desk behind a screen at a teashop I frequent. I've seen it the last few times I've been down to that shop and it is always being used by the proprietor. So I asked if I could look at it, then if it was for sale. :) Woot!

ps. glass sharing pitcher is from Diaso - $1.50, yes, I know...
pss. tasting/fragrance cups from FLT - $6.50 a couple of years ago, yes, I know...

You are cruel and unusual taunting us with these beautiful things!

And the darling turtle?

The turtle's shell is separate and encloses the body, and the head is separate too like a bobble doll. heh. It's much cuter in person. :D

YSLLC - unfortunately it looks like he sold out.

That elephant wasn't there when I got the turtle. I would email him and see.

I really tried to bond with that elephant a couple months ago, but an elephant on a tea tray just sounds too much like a bull in a china shop. There is no way I could. Geekgirl, are you emailing Scott or am I? Actually, if there is enough interest, maybe I could order a bunch (if Scott can still get them) and be the US distributor!

Dunno if I want a turtle OR an elephant, but I sure could go for a goldfish (yay!), or a squirrel, or a really cute naughty puppy, (to match my naughty dachsie who steals my tea!)

I can't email Scott (? is he the YSLLC guy?) because I had to make a new ebay acct and have no current history. (LOOONG story. bleh.)

That's funny, me too. I liked it a lot, but I just couldn't commit. I have been using a tea cannister as a decorative piece for now. I also have foo dogs so I guess I don't *need* one <--- tries to convince self!
