Teaware lust?
Pink or blue???
You do understand that you are going to have to build a garage and turn it into your “tea house” to store all your teaware. :))
Oh, But I do have a garage!! Problem solved then :-o
No jokes….i stopped ordering tea (since 5 days ago) but teaware seems to be even harder to quit, damn it!
People, I know this in not everyone’s style, but if like me you’ve been trying to find this type of coaster/saucer for gongfu sessions, here it is, at a RIDICULOUS price!! And it’s cedar!!
Don’t blame me! They sent me an email newsletter with a lovely picture of it! XD
So, I got this pot not long ago:

I decided I needed cups to match, so these are on the way to me, acquired with a $10 teavivre gift certificate!

So, I was thinking about them and realized the 150mL of tea from my gongfu pot is not going to fit in a 50mL cup. Now I finally understand why you need a pitcher! I never got that before. Sings “I am so smart, S-M-R-T” lol. Anyway, so now I need a pitcher to match obviously. I can’t decide between these two:

Opinions please! Which do you think would look better with the pot and cups that I have (almost)? Or feel free to throw other options in the mix!
Ooh, I love the double-walled one! It’s hard to say about the matching though… I think the first one would match your pot and the second would match the cups. So either way you’re good! :P
I think the first one would match better and it has a really cute shape. But the second is really unique cool looking. Tough decision.
I think I’m going to get the double walled one. I do think the one with handle would match better, but the double walled one just has the cuteness factor. I was also thinking about getting this:

But the seller won’t email me back so I can figure out exactly which piece I’m buying! Grrrr
I personally prefer the first pot, but either way you win, they are both very nice. The tray is fab and so cheap, wow! Just not clear at all what you’re getting, you’re right, lol.
I never could find out what the trays were made of or which one I’d actually be buying. 2 days and 2 messages to the seller and no response :(. Under colors for the item, they had Army Green, Sky Blue, Orange, Light Grey, Plum, Violet…which was concerning. Plus that seller (007 wholesale) had zero feedback, so I decided not to chance it even though I have serious WANT for that tray. I got this one instead:

And I ended up changing my mind again and got the pot with the handle. I’m committed now, so no more wishy washy lol. And that’s the first thing I did this morning :)
I’ve been wanting a small sharing pitcher for gong fu with hubby, but I hate shopping online and (unsurprisingly) have yet to find anything locally. Some day. Hope you enjoy yours!
EDIT: and that tray is lovely!
It’s nothing much, but I bought this a while back:

It’s not the best teapot as far as teapots go, but I think it’s adorable. Now to decide whether or not to buy this to go with it:

Maybe a strange list, but I would love a nice basic chai tea glass set. There’s always something comforting about drinking warm drinks out of glass. I do it anyways with cheap hglass from th e dollar store but I would prefer something tempered for the heat.

Cute porcelain travel set. I have no idea how big it is though I think it is probably a pretty small Gaiwan.

This one is really cheap!
They have the one up above with more designs as well, but come to think about it I see ones like that in China town all the time.

I keep lusting after this: http://www.teavana.com/tea-products/teapots-teapot-sets/ceramic-teapots/p/white-orchid-teapot-set
But it’s expensive and impractical and delicate so I’m probably not going to get it, as gorgeous as it is.
