the best reason for this is because it facilitates pouring without burning fingers! I always use them if I brew with a clay pot.

Really nice, simple set up. Love that bowl.

olivierco, looks like the perfect pot for Gyokuro. Does it have a built-in strainer of some kind?

New tea boat? Definitely a zen thing goin' on.
Nice pic.

Now that I am slowing starting the use of yixing.
I find I need a bowl or boat myself.

Congrats Olivier! In my favorite - rice pattern!

I like the little kokeshi. Is she smaller than average?

Have you seen this Gaiwan ?


It looks as though it may be RiceWare - I am tempted - but as I have not got round to buying it (though viewing it 4 times a week enviously) I thought I would point it your way :lol:
