Here's another of my pretty ones - at first I thought this one was too small but now I find it is easier to use since it is small. This was my first purchase I believe.
It has matcing tiny cups.
Auggy-I totally understand your brewing personality. Think mine is very similar!
Pretty pics today! Makes it hard to resist...
I need a different answer choice for today's question: "No but am considering purchasing one". And when I get ready to purchase, I know the exact one I want (thanx, ABx!
). My hesitation in buying is I'm not sure how much I would use it.
No tea yet today but suuure could use it! My little one (who will be 2 next week) tried to climb out of his playpen last night while I was making dinner & fell. This morning, he was still crying w/his wrist hurting so I took him to the doctor. Several hours later, we made it back home & he has a cast on his arm.
Thankfully it's a small fracture that should heal in 2 weeks but it's pitiful seeing the little guy in a cast from his fingers to his elbow.
I'm really looking forward to my evening tea!!!!!!

Put it in your china cabinet with your other beautiful teaware and you will use it every time you glance in and every time a guest takes a peek.henley wrote: My hesitation in buying is I'm not sure how much I would use it.
Could you steal a vendor pic and show us the gaiwan you are looking at?
Sorry to hear about your little one. Poor thing; their pain is so heartbreaking. Thank heavens they heal quickly at that age!

Love everyone's pictures. I am all thumbs and clumsy when it comes to using my gaiwan. I have 2. One I just bought, turned it upside down, and read the following statement: "For Ornamental use only". 
Which means it likely has lead paint on the outside.
I am stuck at work at 9:15 p.m. on my birthday. No one is more pitiful than the gal working late to get out a proposal on her birthday! However, tomorrow is Friday!

4 gaiwan, or should it be gaiwans - I'm not sure.
One I am in love with and is pretty much perfect in all ways in my eyes, two that are useful and one that waits on the shelf until there are at least four people drinking some sort of weird tea I'm not sure what to do with.
In my cup: roasted tie guan yin from Salsero which is outstanding and from Just4Tea, is this the stuff people have been blogging about?

Happy Birthday, Augie!
Good TeaDay was sailing along, then came to a screeching halt. Had Chiran Yutaka Midori that rocked. Then some dribs and drabs remnant Japanese tea that turned out pretty good.
Now I need a low caffeine TEA BAD!
I miscounted how many gaiwan I have like so many others today, I only have 3. Good thing I don't have too many.

Which CYM? I'm guessing o-cha.Chip wrote: Good TeaDay was sailing along, then came to a screeching halt. Had Chiran Yutaka Midori that rocked. Then some dribs and drabs remnant Japanese tea that turned out pretty good.

I like to keep some hoji around recently just for my low caffeine tea needs. I have some Kaki Hoji sitting around I want to try once I polish off this bag from O-cha.

I want to start making my own kuki houjicha. I have had some really good results lightly pan firing several Japanese teas.
