Oh, also, how do the enjoyingtea.com tins work? Are they double-lidded like Rishi's?
Here's the detail shot of the tin,... and my wrinkled bed sheets.

Pretty isn't everything. Up until recently I brewed everything in a $6 mug infuser. Still do for some of my teas that don't have a designated pot.

where did you get that teapot?
It looks alot like the gyokko from artstic nippon, but I can't tell for sure if that's what it really is.

Naaaa. Keep buying *and* taking more pictures. All tea-porn is good tea-porn. That red sofa isn't bad either.

tenuki, that teapot will definitely be my next purchase... I love the tobikanna lines and the small size.

I came so close to getting this one instead, same size - I wish I could justify having two pots that size.

I bought this teapot too, especially because of its small 5oz size. It isn't very expensive (about 50$-60$ shipping costs included).

I admit to setting up a standing search on ebay for bronze and brass letter openers after seeing this post. That has to be the best puerh knife ever.
