Pearla Cups

Unfortunately I had to link to these because teavana's site doesn't allow you to easily link to their images.

Also unfortunate is that it's a 4 piece set and from Teavana.

I have the white ones, I got them from Jing Tea UK. I had a set of the green ones too, but I gave them away.

Wow, nice pots, Chip. Congrats. Let us know what you think of the awacha. I am very curious what you think of it.

Thank you kindly!

The first one is HUGE compared to any others I own, 400 ML.

Hmmm, no tracking updates for 2 days. So, they must still be flying on a cargo plane from Tokyo for 2 days.

They might not be updating with holiday "traffic," so, there is a remote possibility they could show up today, but I am not expecting it.

Beautifully presented as always, Brandon!

Only a father could love a child this ... different. It is Bizen yohen teapot from the wood-fired Gorobei kiln. I want, and I will have this "one off," it seems.

Erm.. that looks like the wrong kind of leaf... :shock: :lol:

Seriously, though, it really is a beautiful pot. If I were into Japanese greens I would be giving you serious competition for it :)
