After 3 days of driving my mom and her friends for sign seeing in the City. The rewards are 2 Yixing pots, 1 box of 2010 Jin Jun Mai (the top grade of Wuyi variety) and 2 box of 2 top grade light Xiping TiKwanYin from my Anxi tea master. Carrot in front of the horse :lol:

Beautiful pieces, thanks everyone for sharing. Laura, great pieces from splitfire, I really admire Bill's work. Victoria, I love that flat pot; the shape and texture are so natural, reminds me of a river rock. Looks very functional as well with the large opening.

Victoria, that's a gorgeous pot. I was looking at that myself, but couldn't afford it. Enjoy

Love that 'flat' pot, Victoria, wow, gorgeous shapes.

And the frog on the lotus is marvelous.

The tea tins next to those pots sound pretty nice too. But I've got two tea orders coming, can't complain or be too jealous of the teas....though I can still be a little envious of the lovely pots!

Man, I really dig the flat pot. Looks like it'd be easier to clean the leaves out of, as well!

And Tim, it's lovely that your family knows tea so well they know just what to get you!

Thanks Aya, yes, easy to clean and better to see the leaves. I like to think they can spread out more. But you do have to be careful to keep the water level to the top. I know it looks kinda big but it's only around 6 oz.

I had so much teaware, etc. I recently packed up much of it and stored it. The link is to what I kept available for regular use, these are what I like using the most.
