Saturday TeaDay 5/15/10 As the cup changes?

[Chip]

Today the sun came up, and it was TeaDay. Please stop in and share with us what is in your cup throughout the day.

Yesterday we discussed teacup materials. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic and vote.

Today's teaPoll and discussion topic ... throughout the TeaDay, what TeaCup is holding your tea? You can continue to vote ... and share your "CUP" throught the TeaDay as the teas and the TeaCups change.

I am looking forward to sharing this TeaDay with everyone. Bottoms up.

Glass. I can use it for everything.

This particular cup is nice and wide so that I get a face full of aroma when I tip back to drink

My first cup of the day is most always Hagi.

~Happy Birthday AdamMY!~

Thank you for the travel mug option! As I'm at work, it's all I have.

I'm holding a chinese 45ml porcelain cup, just the perfect size. That's the only cup I'm going to use today.

Good morning, TeaDay.



Here is my breakfast cup, holds 50-60ml to the brim. Good for puerh, like this morning. It is both Asian and porcelain.

My Bill Perrine yunomi. And right now, it's waiting for some shincha, so I better get busy.

Currently (10:00 AM Eastern USA) it is an American style mug I made in 2009, made of clay from Shigaraki, thrown and assembled at Kanayama, green-ware once fired for 3 days in a wood kiln that I designed and built at Kanayama back in 2006, using a youhen charcoal finishing process practiced in the town of Bizen.

Began the TD with a shiro (white straw ash glaze) super oni Hagi wan by Shibuya Deishi. This was TC Hagi SO #7.

In the cup, initial tasting of Asamushi Kinari by MaikoTea. SweeTea was front and center for the tasting while Lili and Kati visited the TeaTable this morning.

Thank you very much!

I just voted for the style of cups I use regularly, which would be Chinese Porcelain, Gongfu, Hagi, and Chawan.

I can not really think of the last time I used a English style or even Western style mug for tea!

Hey, Happy Birthday Adam!!!

[Skippyandjif]

I used a mug this morning-- I'm staying at my father's apartment for a couple days and all of my cups are being shipped to my mother's house. It was a nice mug, though; it had a cat motif.

Pu-erh with magnolia petals this morning. Veeeeery perfumey. (I haven't had it in a while, and that always surprises me if I haven't had it in a while.)

[JBaymore]

Around noontime, Eastern USA time.

Now using a wood fired stoneware yunomi by Matsuzaki Ken (Mashiko), with white slip, iron brushwork, and Oribe glaze.

Sencha, of course.

best,

...........john

PS: Had to vote "other". Chip you missed non-porcealin yunomi as a choice.

Mug - it's a very pretty mug, and one I really enjoy using. It's holding some Fujian which is cooling a bit while I eat lunch. Nothing exciting there, trying not to eat too much so I can eat again at about 3:30-4pm because I have to be at work at 4:30! Maybe since I'm getting there earlier this time, I'll actually be able to have some tea at work...
