Say 3 teas, 5 steeps each :arrow: 15 pots. 8)

Like I said, conservatively speaking since most of the first 7-8 years, I had 5 teas a day on average.

Then you should have the same number of pots and cups, shouldn't you?

"Cup" is subjective as you know in Asian teaware speak. I generally use small cup ... 3 cups per steep :arrow: 164,250 cups.

I don't like to divide a steep into different cups, I prefer to use a cup about the same size of the teapot.

I have generally not done that for years, but coincidentally, some Hagi cups JUST arrived on Saturday that will change my drinking habits since they are pretty BIG. They make me feel like I woke up in "The Land Of The Giants!" :lol:

Middle of the road for me, but it's going to change. In what direction I'm not sure, but purchases will be made.
