ambrose, nice purchase!

I really like their unique glaze. They seem to be matted glaze. Really nice.

 

[ambrose]

thank you, I am in love with the celadon glaze as well. Its even on the gaiwan although its hard to tell in the pic. Its very smooth to the touch and very smooth to the lips and that crackle just does it for me. I cant wait to see the veins grow in appearance with use.

Glad you posted that. I'll be sending you some samples manana, and didn't want to send you any dupes. Looks as if you can use some more Xiaguan.

I brought the tea pot back from a recent trip to Prague. It was made by a local there.

The Aromagrind manual coffee grinder just arrived today. The beans I ordered will be here on Wednesday, so I can't try the grinder just yet. I've been drinking instant coffee since I moved to the UK (don't shoot!). Does anyone have experience with this grinder? I wanted a hand grinder and will most likely end up with the Hario Skerton, but it doesn't seem to be available in the UK.

Thank you again for the samples,

A new addition to my tea army a Bone china gaiwan, its nice, short and wide. Perfect for oolong and of course greens.

I also got a bunch of wu yi rock oolong samples, a puerh sample and 200 grams of Wu Yi Rock Da Hong Pao Love these oolongs!

 

[ambrose]

two of the celadon cups, 2 oz of 09 Spring Tai Tung "Hao Xian" Black Tea and 2 oz of Traditional "Yin Hwa" Pomelo-Flower Tea

 

[Jasonian]

4oz. each.

Lapsang Souchong
Pouchong

from adagio. Nothing special.

 

[expatCanuck]

At least, they said it was yixing.
Feels like it.
Brews like it.

In any event, it's a mug for she and a mug for me, with half a mug for little he.

That's Bai Hao Oolong in the petri dish, if anyone's wondering.
[Actually, it's Bai Hao Oolong in the petri dish even if no one's wondering.]

 

[SilverToy]

Richard that looks cool, it must have been a Yixing week for sure!
I just got my first; it’s a 110ml Da Hong Pao Clay "Dragon Egg" Yixing teapot, from Steve at JAS-eTea that came in two days ago. It makes a nice single cup; the pour takes 10 seconds and is nice and smooth. I decided to use this one for shou Pu-erh teas, as they are my current favorite, I will be ordering another, about 200ml, for sheng.

 

[ouch]

Man, do I want that pot.

Soon. Soon, I tell ya.

 

[arghblech]

Man, do I want that pot.

Soon. Soon, I tell ya.

It's really nice. I've been using mine for a while now and I love it.

 

[expatCanuck]

Man, do I want that pot.

Soon. Soon, I tell ya.

No, you don't.

But here's a mug that's more your size.
