Re: Silver teaware
Thanks for the input folks! I think I might get one someday. It would be a great way to test if a tea is as good as I think it is. Not cheap for the quality .999% ones! Any good vendors you know of? I have been using inherited antiques, never bought any. I do not know of any Western-facing vendor I...

Re: Lets talk about Da Yu Ling
