A item for chabako tea ceremony which I plan to use also for other teas.RussianSoul wrote:What is Kizue?olivierco wrote:Kizue search is over
It is a foldable tray on which you put the chawan, the natsume or chaire (tea caddy), the chashaku (matcha spoon) and other items.
Size 20cmx14cm (8'x5'5) for each "panel" (don't know if it is the right word)
Having French Toast for lunch with some Adagio #8 Oolong.
Yum!
Yum!

Had my last full session of Kirameki...a few grams left. What too blend it with.
With "lunch" having pu...tou cha. I am practically forcing myself to have a non Japanese green tea. It is strange. I used to have Long Jing everyday w/o fail. I tried to have it now...just no desire. I hope it returns soon, expecially since I have a good deal of it.
The pu is strong, thick and bold. I will be steeping this into the night...if I choose.

They have a lottery in Finland? Ah yes, I see, the Finland-Norway-Sweden "Viking Lottery"Photiou wrote:But only thing rolling here is my empty wallet after paying downpayment for a new car... so maybe if I win the lottery

What kind of car did you buy? That is next on my "save-up-for" list. I'm hoping for a Prius or Honda Civic Hybrid in the next year or two...

Are you serious? Here in tropical Massachusetts it was 97 today. Ugh. What happened to spring? Supposed to be HOTTER tomorrow. I don't mind hot, but I do mind it when it comes before its time.Beanbean wrote:It s surprisingly chilly here for a mid June morning, only 48 degrees when I got up.

Creme de la Earl Grey in my cup. Used to love this one. Not so much today. It was the last of the container so unlikely I'll reorder. I think it's a cold weather tea for me. (Or maybe it is just not my thing anymore.)

Oh man, there's a long list of teaware I'd purchase right now, leading off with some Tokoname. Celadon, definitely, especially cups. I have no chataku, and would love some sakura ones. And I would probably break out the big guns and buy a tea tray that is wood with inlays (mother or pearl or abalone.) I'd also get a nice cabinet to show off my stuff - but I'll probably do that anyways eventually, just haven't found the right one yet. After 2+ years of looking, I'm not sure I will.
In my cup: oolong #40 and I'm taking a shot at incorporating flowers from the yard like the boys do.
