i recognize these pieces exactly what they are. i think the only one good enough for real use is the 160 gaiwan. the travel sets in bamboo trays are not good use.
zen and tea are not separatable. tea is always important element in buddhism in china and japan. longjing was first made by a monk before qian long emperor made it famous. the first tea gardens in japan were created by monks.
very impressing look. i m very stunned. so great number of selections and look very, very high quality at very good price. many congratulations!
i take pictures not good. some gaiwans like the pink gaiwan picture in tea guardian gaiwan page. thin edge (maybe 0.5 mm thicker than tea guardian picture gaiwan), deep lid button (deeper than t g gaiwan), white bone china. best for daily use making tea. most practical shape. only white no color, no painting. from dehua, fujian. i use everyday.
also have blue and white, dou cai, fen cai, all thiner and deeper lid button than jk. better for tea making and better to hand feel. maybe i ask someone to take picture for me later.good gaiwan no need expensive. gaiwans i am selling same price but better. too bad i have no internet shop.
sau mei = new technique white tea = cheap white tea
one importer from usa buy from me to sell as white peony. not honest people.if only like shape, these very common shape for tea cup available many stores in hong kong. from very cheap price to very high price. no need to buy on internet, if you come to hk often.
also tieguanyin is fujian tea. tieguanyin in hk is cheaper than in shanghai, because many fujian people in hk. one teashop base in hk has a branch in shanghai. same tea in hk is almost 50% higher in shanghai. therefore no good to buy in shanghai store.
