Friday TeaDay 11/5/10 TeaPots changing places?

[Chip]

Happy TeaDay one and all. Please drop in and share what is in your cup throughout the day.

Yesterday we discussed switching cups throughout the day. You can still vote and discuss yesterday's topic.

Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. Today's TeaPoll and discussion topic. A spin off of yesterday. Going from one tea to the next during any given day, do you change TeaPots? Please share.

I will be looking forward to sharing this Teaday with everyone. Bottoms up.

Not usually these days.
Usually/typically only matcha then j g, so just the one kyusu.
Very occasionally I go to gaiwan or glass pot for a white late.

[IPT]

I make many teapot changes each day.

[Victoria]

Me too. Several, throughout the day.

97° again today, hoping for relief in the 84° range tomorrow.
At least it's been cooling down to the 60's at night.

[artmom]

Sometimes yes; sometimes no.

I often keep the tea leaves in each pot as I change from tea to tea. Then I brew up SLT (soggy leaf tea) at night for a low caffeine tea fix.

But even if this was not the case, I would likely still change pots each time ... tis my nature. I actually change pots more than cups.

Began the TD with a prelim tasting of sencha with the Mrs. brewed up in one of Ian's famous Goodwill kyusu. 5 steeps in, I will set it aside til tonight.

Another cool dreary rainy day here. But Spring is coming ...

I use a larger "western" cermic pot normally for my larger morning sessions and then in the afternoon when it is just me, I use a gaiwan or just brew in my fair cup.

[LauraW]

Not really. At work i just have an in mug infused that goes perfectly in my Splitfire cup, and at home i tend to go with a gaiwan or ingenuitea if it's just me, or an actual teapot (read: western style) if for two or more.

Snowbud so far at work.

Started the day with DH making me breakfast and a pot of Turzum Darjeeling. Although he is not joining me in tea, still preferring his coffee, he has now learned to make a pot for me in the morning. And oven fresh biscuits were a treat. I look forward to Fridays now; breakfast with DH and a lighter load day at work, and yay! ... the weekend in sight!

Next up: 2009 Lu Shan Oolong from Tea Masters.

Have a nice day everyone!

I usually keep the same pot/gaiwan through out the day, but now that i have a yixing, that will be used for my puerh and I will probably still use a gaiwan for everything else so i may start changing pots throughout the day. If I switch to/from puerh.

Today i actually switched teaware mid-session started out with OTTI tgy #4 in the yixing to test out the pot (this is only the second use). tasted kind of flat so i dumped the leaves into a gaiwan to finish the session, flavor definately imrproved. puerh definately works better in the pot based on yesterdays test.

I usually only use my cast iron because it's the perfect size and it promotes heat throughout the pot evenly.

But sometimes I use a porcelain pot if it's a stronger black, red, or herbal tea.

[debunix]

Started with Honyama sencha from a Kyusu; moved on to Zhangsu Lake oolong from the Kamjove; probably will be onto a gaiwan for gongfu cha later on.

[tortoise]

Depends on what I am drinking. 1 Kyusu for japanese green, 1 cast iron for black, and a gaiwan or fake yixings for oolong. If I have more than one variety of tea throughout the day, you can bet I will be using a different pot.

I have another kyusu on the way, so this may effect my pattern.

This morning I had a super steeping of commercial yunnan in the cast iron pot and am now just moments away from a nice YM in the hokujo kyusu. I believe this illustrates my point. I'm sure you are all much better off now knowing this...

[entropyembrace]

sometimes yes...I have two Tokoname Kyusu and a glass pot I use fairly often...I´ll switch between them if I have sencha and another tea in the day.

Teaday started with Kiku Mukashi matcha and then I brought a bottle of cold Yunnan gold tips to school with me. Maybe will brew up some sencha in a bit.

In the past 24 hours: 3 teas, 3 teapots.
