Today’s Cold Brew! Very, very tangerine! And oh so yummy!
In other tea related things: someone needs to take my laptop away from me because I’ve caught the teaware bug and cannot, for the life of me, stop looking and different websites and cart building. Currently, I’ve got a $362 cart built on Camellia Sinensis and itchy trigger fingers. I am weak. And the crazy thing is, I’m not even batting an eye at the three yixing pots in the cart – the thing that I’m most torn on is whether or not I want to pick up another fish gaiwan because the fact I broke the lid of the one I currently own is still breaking my heart…
But do you buy a whole new gaiwan to replace it!? I wish you could just buy “replacement pieces” the same way DT sells replacement parts for timolinos and some of the Perfect Mugs. If anyone has a broken white ceramic Gaiwan with an intact lid I’d be more than willing to buy the lid off them if they thought it’d match the fishy gaiwan. I don’t really need “fish” on the lid; I just want one that’s actually intact.
Here’s what fishy looks like: http://camellia-sinensis.com/en/teapot/gaiwan/gaiwan-yu

I’d say go for it! It’s really pretty.
I did not even know about this website. And now I am far, far down the rabbit hole…
Try emailing them to ask. They have awesome customer service and may be able to help!
Fishy is really pretty! :) Camellia also has this yixing teapot I would die for. I think it’s the SG-13 (if I’m remembering correctly) but don’t quote me on it.
When I was working for a larger tea corporation, we got a lot of customer complaints that there weren’t enough products with replaceable parts. It’s an unfortunate blight throughout the whole business — especially because there’s a lot of handmade or mouth-blown (in case of glass) items out there.
You might also try checking out Goodwill and the like to see whether you can find tiny plates that might work. They tend to have all sorts of random kitchen things.
Though fishy is very lovely. If you truly love it, buy another one.
That is veery pretty!
I caved and placed my massive $300+ tea order (with a replacement fish Gaiwan included). I am OFFICIALLY on TEA HIATUS until AT LEAST 2016. No tea or teaware because I definitely just blew my budget…
Oh the joy of receiving the box and trying all the things!
