I'm very carefully not looking at this thread.
Mods, just to be safe, I think we should quarantine it.

Songs for Christmas opus gets some heavy holiday play...despite my slight annoyance with his style.

Thank you for making my jaw drop in awe after seeing the kyusu. Now I am incredibly tempted and have to keep telling myself that I don't need it.

I had no idea it was a song! I was just making wordplay on the "Get thee behind me, Satan" (
Retro me, Sathanas) phrase.
Well, wow
Now I'm gonna have to get that song!

If you're not familiar with Hagi kyusu be careful; the size of the holes in the built-in filter tend to be quite large compared to metal mesh filters and normal sasame filters. With small leaf sencha you may end up with much more leaf in the cup than you want.

Boy it's a good thing I ran out of money, that yunomi is a gem and would make a nice addition to my rapidly growing collection.
