thank you for being so welcoming!
hopefully from this forum i can get some new teapot ideas.
that one is my first, and i'd really like to start collecting.

any suggestions?

...and the truth behind the bodum set is that i broke the other one with a handle.

Yes, open a new thread under Teaware & Accessories - Asking for teapot recommendations - and tell us the types of teas you like and how much volume you want to make during one session. People will help you.

i'm most proud of my adagio sample tins with magnetic strips on the back.

to keep with the spirit of this thread. since i sell designer handbags, i thought i'd have to get a designer teacup...

Cool stuff, dyld. I met MJ in Paris a while back- He's a nice chap, didn't know he designed teacups.

Love the magnetic tea storage idea as well...

Oh i'm sure we can come up with some lovely ideas for you. Standard teapot fare to cover around here seems to be

Round 1:

Very generic teapot - white porcelean, ingenuitea (although not so much now with the bpa scare), french press, etc.

Round 2:

Starting in the specialty categories: Kyusu, Gaiwan, Yixing, Bone China

Round 3:

Diving in deeper: Matcha chawans, travel containers, individual Yixing, tokoname kyusu,

Round 4:

The deep depths of insanity: Antique wares (chawans, bone china, etc), odd and specialized pieces, comissioned pieces, etc.

Round 5:

Only the teamind knows: Mouth Brewing! and others?

I'm sure others will argue the order of such things and move things around on my list, but that's my quick list. We can provide suggestions for anything you like.

Pentox, that is perfect. A copy is to be inserted in every
newbie's manual.
Thank you!

An anonymous author at Wikicha wrote:Another popular method of mouth brewing is the intraoral whisking of matcha. It requires near super-human dexterity and the ability to unhinge one's jaw, but many find the technique rewarding nevertheless.

Ohmigod. Intraoral whisking of matcha.

How I wish I could say that I snorted matcha out my nose while reading this. However, I was drinking oolong at the time :wink:

This article is coming with me to my next Japanese tea ceremony class!
