I have that set. Tis verra nice. :)

You do? Did you get it from Republic of Tea? Is it worth the $92 price tag?

[pen-dragon.livejournal.com]

92? Not quite. It'll make about four cups, if using the small cups that come with it. One to one and a half if using normal size cups.

I recommend something from Teavana if you need to be serving to larger numbers.

Yeah, it is $92. And yes, I noticed the cups are fairly small, as is the capacity of the teapot. This would be better for making a few cups or having guests. For single servings I have a few different things to use. I also have a small pot that makes about 3 or 4 cups from Adagio...just a plain ole white pot though.

=) beautiful Tea Set. There is a asian store in lafayette that sells tea sets similar to that, i think they make great gifts for tea lovers.

I'd love to give one to TeaJade :)

I gave her a lovely teapot for her birthday last year. Along with the genmai cha sampler among others. I want that one too, and it is cheaper, but this has always been among my favorites. And because it has 5 cups, it demands a tea party. :P

the only genmai cha tea i've had is Yama Moto this asian brand.
Have you heard of that one?

=) aww lucky you! i like giving nice gifts to someone like birthdays. Makes me feel good.

Hehe seriously! tea party!

No, I haven't. I had my first GMC from Adagio...was so intrigued by the picture I had to get a sampler. Tried Choice Organic bagged, Republic of Tea, Red Blossom Tea (from SF...gift from teajade) and whatever brand the local tea houses here have.
