More money seemed to have less an effect of your tea purchases than I would have guessed according to yesterday's poll...you can still vote and discuss this topic.
Welcome to Monday's edition of TeaDay. I am sure we will need a little extra tea to get through the day. Let's brew and share cups with each other today...all day. If you need to, you can also reflect back on your TeaDay.
So...I promise...last money topic for a while. But today, you are rolling in the dough. Is there some teaware you have been eyeballing for a while...or a recent discovery. Perhaps the economic stimulus check is going to some teaware. So, 'fess up...what teaware have you been wanting...waiting...?
I am looking forward to seeing everyone of TeaDay. Bottoms up, refill, repeat many times...

Hey y'all ... back from a weekend sweltering in the PA heat on vacay with the fam. The kids are on their first official day of summer vacation today. Yikes!
I voted teapot in this one, only because I'm searching for the perfect one. No tea yet this morning and only bagged tea over the weekend. Considering my choices carefully.

In that case (as I am now actually) a tea tray is the next on my items of needed teaware. Although to the surprise of some probably I just splurged on a beautiful Chinese landscape design yixing cup for $18 and a set of 4 lined yixing cups for $4 off of ebay around a week ago.

There really isn't a single piece of teaware that completely calls to me and keeps me up at night. It is more of one day, I would like a different teapot, but I haven't seen the right one yet.
I am starting today with two steeps of Oolong #8 and a large container of iced tea for work. I still have to figure out the best way to brew good tea while I am there, but my plan of a travel mug, a thermos, the iced tea, and some extra powdered sencha should hold me for the day.

You have also awakened in me a DEEP CRAVING for that yunomi.
Can you please share where you found it?
Currently craving... yunomi!
In my cup... nothing (yet). I'm visiting my elderly father in Ontario and have abandoned my tea ways for the time being. It's all Red Rose out here - when it's not coffee! {snif}

I need an All of the Above button!!! 
I have a glass teapot and tomorrow I will be a personaliTEA (replacing my broken ceramic pot). I have four small cups and my giant Alice in Wonderland cup. I also have a mini-gaiwan.
So.....I have had my eye on several things. A full gaiwan. A bamboo gungfu tray. A Korean tea filter cup. Handmade chai cups. A new clay or ceramic pot, a cast iron pot. Handmade gongfu set....
I spent a lot of time 'window' shopping yesteday. I am putting together a wish list
Of course, I have NO idea where all this stuff will GO, but, still....
