So, you are still marooned on an island, you now have lucked out and have some tea. So, now you need teaware. You think, if I just had one of my nice cups, but that's life. So, what do you do?

I'd go with bamboo since there are already some nice tea wares made of that. I really do not like the taste of coconut and would be afraid that the coconut husk would make all the teas taste like coconut. There would probably be some nice shells, but those would most likely have a fishy taste and odor. The glass bottle would probably work great too. The idea of carving my own cups and a brewing vessel out of bamboo sounds fun though.

Today I had some Glendale Nilgiri FOP, cherry rose sencha, and some regular sencha.

Oh that's right. I voted "clay," but it occurs to me I wouldn't know how to fire it into a cup if my life depended on it. Mouth brewing it is, I guess.

I think I would dig up some clay and heat it in my fire. It would give me something to do....maybe I could get really good at it and then one day when I get rescued I will have created the next big thing in teaware! Anway, right now I am enjoying some Karigane before bed!
