I very much enjoy a variety of tea wares, but rarely talk about them in any depth. Time for that to change 
I recently received a set of Yixing cups from the nice people at the Canton Tea Company and have come up with a little photo montage of the cups in action. They are featured with the infusion of a wet/Banna stored 2003 raw puer cake. I hope that you all enjoy the photos.
The cups are heavy for their size and somewhat larger than my standard cup, but not unwieldy and just about the right volume for tea for two with the average gaiwan. The glaze is beautifully applied and since the colored glaze is only applied to the exterior body of the cup, the interior shows off the color of the liquor nicely. Perhaps this is due to their Yixing roots, but they seem to hold the temperature of the tea well (after the cup has been warmed), making for a long-lasting enjoyable cup of tea. The set came with 6 unique colors and each has its own character and flair. A fine set of cups.
Comments are welcome and appreciated. And again, a big thank you to Canton Tea
