Seong il handled cups. Dare I call them 'coffee' cups?

That's a dirty word!

You are so mean! I've contacted him, but he seems to be really busy! His stuff is fantastic!

Puerh cups! Black tea cups!

My yunomi do sometimes let me down with the very hot teas, and I break down and grab the handled cups to preserve my fingers....

haven't checked this thread in a while, but WOW!

where do people go to look/buy Korean tea ware? the only place that comes to mind is Hankook, which is local to me in LA I think.

Hankook's storefront in LA goes by another name:

Chansaengwon, 3839 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90010-3238

Yes, they are quite precocious! Some are quite small, as small as 2 ounces, while others hold up to 4.

Sweet!

That's one heck of an elegant set.

And just because my set has this problem, I'm curious: how does the volume of that cup match the volume of the brewing vessel?

Thanks Victoria and Debunix The volume is 1 to 1, a very comfortable match. The pic shown the brew level. The link is some of their products:

Hi Tim,

I'm just curious about where your tetsubin is sitting on: what is that thing placed inside your brazier?

I have a Ryoro which is a little too small for mine and I have to keep something below the kettle to let air flow out, otherwise my charcoals extinguish.

Thanks,
Andrea

Hi Andrea - That's just a small japanese clay brazier sitting inside the urushi-nuri Hibachi.

Tim, That Chawan look amazing. I like how you've used the two braziers. Fantastic setup.
