Yes most definitely because I don't even have any yixing teapots yet so Im sure I would update. If money were no object I would have a yixing for every different tea I use. Lots of Kyusu's as well for the japanse greens.

Earl grey cream in my cup today.

Most definitely I would start collecting high end yixing to go with the high end puerh.

I don't think that my current pots and cups would change too drastically, but I would definitely expand my collection a bit. I would like at least one or two more Yixing pots, a Hagi kyusu with matching cups, a few other kyusu of varying sizes with different types of screens, and an assortment of handmade cups. If there was infinite money, I would also like my own pottery wheel and ceramics studio to experiment with making my own tea ware.

Currently in my cup is Big Red Robe oolong.

Some yunomi from Arita and Kyoto have been catching my eye, like Image and Image

So I could find some teaware to buy if I suddenly had too much cash.


Today has been a tough day. I had no tea until 1PM (bagged dragonwell) and I've had no tea since. I just got home and I have to get up again in 4 1/2 hours.
However, my Yutaka Midori arrived today, and I'm expecting the Temomi to arrive tomorrow.

Good night folks.

Mmmm, I was pretty satisfied with the teaware that I have until you stuck those two cups in my face. :lol:

I've seen them on the website, but for some reason they appeal a lot more to me posted here. Oops, just looked at the price of the Cranes ... $150 is hard to imagine spending on a cup!

Hope your day tomorrow is tons better.

We already have a Koi pond... complete with waterlilies and lotus, a greenhouse, and a garden chock full of Japanese Maples.

However we have always wanted a conservatory since we both have "horticulture" backgrounds, of course it would be full of the most unusual and bizarre plant specimens we could acquire. The more unusual, the better. So, if we were very, very wealthy, we would certainly aspire to do it all!
Methinks the Chips need to adopt a Chipette. I am officially moving in. :lol:

Hope you feel better today, Mrs. I am home with strep throat myself, so you have my sympathies.

Sarah, a visit would be fun maybe one day in our futures?

I am feeling better since I am being well taken care of and being given large quantities of TEA! Hope your recovery is quick as well, strep can be a real :) pain!
