Sooo…some awesome person that may be the creator of this fabulous tea has suggested the idea of a pot devoted to the VANILLA DREAMS family of tea. My own family of VD teas consists of GO, PORT, ELDERWOOD, and soon to be received COCOA AMORE. (Not counting new EL DORADO cause it’s a chai).
Since all those teas are blended with hand-cut vanilla beans, I can only imagine what kind of flavour this will be rendering later.
I started the seasoning process very late last night, and kind of fell asleep during the soaking part. Oops. Does that mean that my pot bathed in awesomeness all night long?
Hell yeah! Now, that cannot be a bad thing…
Well, let me tell you I am drinking GO right now Gongfu style for the first time and it is just dreamy….Awwwww this is soooo gooood!!!
It’s a lot more concentrated this way, and the vanilla seems a little boozy somehow, hard to explain. Probably the minerals from the pot has to do with that.
It maltier this way, also fruitier and more fudgy. All the flavours are so condensed and smooth.
This will turn into a serious addiction, I can tell. Oh my.
Great idea Brenden, and this will make me drink even more of your tea, if that’s possible!!

WOOOOO! When my new yixings get here – I’m going the same thing!
Go look at your PM. And “bathed in awesomeness all night long” is full of win!
Lol, I guess not! Can’t wait for you to try this…
I think I want my Vanilla Pot to be the purple one that sadly, is coming from China so will take a while. Maybe I’ll change my mind and use another one for the vanillas.
You have the purple and the one from mandala coming right? Any others I should know about?
No. I finally managed to stop after the Mandala one. For pots anyway – I do have that lotus cup coming. But I also have 2 others I need to season. One will be just for SD and one will be for other shous and that will leave one for…..?
I REALLY want the purple one to be the vanilla one though, so I may have to wait
Yes, you better wait for what you really want…just pretend you did not see this note this morning…
I will try
This new yixing habit is going to get expensive… I can already tell. In addition to the yixing gaiwans I’ve bought over the past few days, I bought a wall shelf last night, to keep them on. Because you can’t have broken tea ware! And now I see this idea, so I need another yixing gaiwan!
This time, I blame Brenden. You’re off the hook, Foxy!
I’m having GO as my going out the door tea this morning. @Sars the lotus gaiwan need to be the Vanilla one
Have a great day MzPriss!!
Sars…it’s totally on him, thank you.

Cute new mug (filled with GO)
Which lotus, HoneyBelle? I got two. Though one is a different type of clay. So maybe I should stick with the yixing for this. Not sure.
Love the new mug!!!
The mug looks awesome!!!
The one where the lotus is actually the shape of the clay with no glaze. Isn’t that mug cute? $4.99 @ TJMaxx
OK out the door with my GO. Have a great day y’all
Thanks for the suggestion, MzP! Have a great day!!!
