Re: Hagi

Beautiful TeaWares. Chip and I drink from our Hagi almost daily. Hopefully soon he will share some pictures.
(My photography skills are lacking at best and would not do justice to our beautiful cups.)

Snowdrift today on the day after a minor snow and ice storm.

Re: Introduce Yourself

Hello fellow TeaLovers. For those of you who may not know, yes, I am Chip's wife. How long have you been drinking tea? Since 2008 I have been enjoying tea daily with Chip at our TeaTable.

I could have served them Hawaiian Wedding Cake Ginger Mint Tropical Black Tea and they would have been just as happy.

Re: Your ideal cup shape for green tea?

I prefer more of the wabi-sabi styles in my cups, like the kutsugata. But we have other styles too, like the Wan -gato

Re: Your ideal cup shape for green tea?

Chip and I prefer guinomi size cups, artisan usually with a lot of texture. We prefer smaller cups, approx. 3 ounces each for our greens, even smaller for gyokuro.

Chip brews sencha in small quantities.
I am sure he will chime in with corrections or additions :roll:

Re: Quality

I agree with Bok, any scientific backing on "I heard it from a source that knows"?

Statements like that should be backed up with source, studies, etc.
