This post is all about teaware

With the widespread availability of tea knowledge and frequent information exchanges online, tea drinkers' demands on teaware have not only increased but diversified. Gradually we are witnessing a revival/ reinventions of  teaware item.

Blanc de Chine 'White from China' tea cups, 19 USD each

 The items that you find in my shop have been almost exclusively sought out from various locations. Along the way, I have also met people and professionals who share my love for teaware and the creation of unique pottery pieces. They continue to inspire me to write about anything to do with the vast and deep topic of tea.

Tea with friends 一期一會

一期一會

I met with some old friends from school last weekend. We sampled some 2011 Si Ji Chun Oolong and a 2007 cooked Pu'er cake from　“Qìng fēng xiáng”.

We drank tea from different cups and experienced for ourselves first hand what differences the glaze could make to the colour, smell and taste of tea.

Tea was sweeter in some cups and bland in others.

Tea alone makes for a good time, tea time with friends makes for a great time.
