Hello teafriends,

life has been hectic lately and I forgot to post my teasessions. This is boutta be a bigger post!

I'd even comment on what I had, but I honestly don't remember much. However, lately I've been trying a lot of japanese teas too, I sort of grew a liking to the fishy soup flavour!

The Great (intermittent) Teapot Hunt

I mentioned, in this post from 10 (!) years ago, that @dduane and I are very fond of our Emsa glass teapot with its clever pivoting infuser, which parks in the domed lid once raised...

...but that it had been discontinued and the potential arithmetic of glass teapot + gravity + tiled floor = no more teapot meant we want to find a backup, Just In Case.

So far the arithmetic has remained potential (phew!) but every now and then we look at eBay, Etsy and in Name Your Search Engine, just in case something emerges from the mists of discontinued time.

The problem has always been - here are a couple of recent examples - that when they do turn up they're invariably Used, with occasional dings, scrapes or even cracks, and often involve shipping charges about a time-and-a-half the cost of the teapot:

There's also the possibility of further charges in the form of import / excise duty and VAT (sales tax) once it gets here.

But a couple of weeks ago we found EXACTLY what we'd been hoping for, Hurrah!

This is not only old-stock new-In-box at an excellent price, it came from the UK so shipping charges were in single figures and, though we did indeed have to pay VAT, that was less than €4.00.

Once again, Hurrah! :->

Here's where we found it, and here is a satisfied customer observation: Lesley and Ash are nice people with - from our own experience - admirable business practices.

Take a look at that link, or the others mentioned in "About Us".

You never know what you might find.

We certainly didn't... :->

A session with a new white tea, two new tea pets, and a new cup!

My impeccable pouring technique 💁🏻‍♀️

Wash through maybe the fifth steep?

Tea is JTH’s Duidui’s “Sakura Cloud Sea” Laobangzhang White.

Coin is 7g, in a 250ml tea pot, 100°C.

Started at 15s a steep and it slowly crept but because I am bad at this, lol.

Gonna fill up this almost liter mug and drink it away from my table.

Tea pets are unnamed if you have suggestions!

One thing I rlly wanna get into rn is Korean Tea Culture. I know it's not as widely spread as Chinese or Japanese tea ceremonies, but I'm very intrigued. If anybody has any Korean teas they have tried, that they wanna recommend, I'm open to hear more!
