Few more bits and pieces arrived from Dragon Tea House eBay store today!Loving the Aroma Teacup Set. The idea is to fill the tall aroma cup with pu-erh tea then put the sipping cup upside down on top and then quickly turn the whole thing upside down. Then release the tea from the now upside down aroma cup in to the sipping cup. Roll the aroma cup between your two hands whilst getting a good whiff of the brew! Then of course sip from the sipping cup..tradionally finish in three sips making as much slurpy noises as you like..helps with enhancing the flavour. Bit like the way you would with wine, introducing oxgen in your mouth to improve the taste.

The set looks great I've been enjoying a lot of tea recently, not quite converted but Tea certainly has its place
What amazes me is the many types of tea available. I love the delicate greens..jasmine pearls are very refreshing. Then there is the strange earthy flavours in pu-erh tea..which i'm just getting in to. One thing though, it really makes all the difference when prepared and served the correct way with the whole gongfu thing.
Thanks for your comment Steve! I better get some coffee photos on here soon :)
Opps! What I was trying to say is -Nice Tea Tray!!
I came across your blog through Stéphane's; I have the same cha hes and strainer from Dragon Tea House (although I opted for the brush made from vera wood, which smells WONDERFUL). Gordon has some nice stuff! Pretty much all of my brewing porcelain is from Stéphane, though.
Beautiful arrangement!

Great Blog. Which tray is that from Dragon Teahouse? I love it. I have been searching for just the right one and I have to just make a decision...if I can identify the one you have I will put an end to this part of my obsession:P
Thanks Rebecca!
I've been really lazy and not added anything to my blog for ages now. I'll have to find time to put that right.
I actually got the Tea Tray from Yunnan Sourcing. Here's a direct link to the tray that's still available.
The obsession will continue though! :) I love the tray but have my eye on another one already...never contented!
Thanks for the link...I just ordered the table. I know what you mean. I'm already thinking about my next one!
