Shan Shui Teaware

by trent » Apr 24th, '08, 01:38

Does anyone else think that Shan Shui carries amazing teaware?

I particularly love their cups and cha hai (fair cups).

I particularly hate their site... :x

Decent teaware though, but the site gives me a headache. :shock:

I expected to click the link and find flashing neon backgrounds and screeching coming through my speakers. What a relief! Perhaps because of my "preparation," I didn't find their site difficult at all. And I like their stuff. I miss Korean tea and may just have to order some.

Thanks for the link, trent! :D

I have actually purchased a few items from Shan Shui. However, I must admit that they are a bit spendy. You can buy virtually the same ware abroad on Ebay for much less if you are patient. :)

They do have some nice stuff, but I have a hard time with the prices. I get cebei, faircups, and gaiwans for $4-$6 locally, so it's hard to buy online at these kind of prices anymore :X

I currently have some cheap local stuff, so I guess I'm on the same boat as you. However, I can ever find a fair cup that I like, and this one from shan shui is absolutely amazing... I love celadon.
