Thanks Greebo for your amazingly generous gift. Sorry again for the confusion after me opening the Amazon box early.


It's a traditional Chinese Tea Set, including a Gaiwan, a large bowl to excess tea and water, and 5 small cups!

I am really into loose teas (member of a tea club where I get a new one each week) and have wanted to get a Gaiwan for a while, so thanks so so much!!

Can you recommend any good websites for teas? Fancy trying some more exotic teas etc.
Is there a special way of brewing them too?

To be honest, Tim was difficult to buy for, he only seems to post in the bloody FIFA thread. I literally went on that, he likes xbox live and playing FIFA, so by extension football.

I picked him up 12 months of xbox live and a copy of one of my favourite football books, I really hoped that he liked them and was very relieved when he said so! I also threw in some sweets :)

I was going to put in a single of my socks too :D haha

Hint taken, I'll start posting in other threads too!! :p

Sorry if I was a nightmare to buy for, but you did well, books, xblive, sweeties, can't really go wrong, and the offer of a local meet up for "Drinks and Fun" :eek:

I'd go for http://www.cantonteaco.com

It's where I buy most of my teas from, and I am a member of their tea club, where I get sent a new tea every week.

They have a huge range of teas from very cheap, to very expensive.
Brewing instructions are provided on the packs, but you just need a tea pot that has somewhere to put the loose leaves in, so they can be removed after brewing.

Cheers for that :)
Looks like they sell suitable pots too.

Haha! It was ok in the end, I just ended up going way over budget on you! You special person you! haha

Hey! Less about the drinks else other people will want to join in :mad:
 
Mine hasn't posted :(

At least I don't think he has anyway. Seems a lot of others haven't either. I guess they could have a little while longer, but would be a big let down if they didn't.
