I enjoyed the rest of my sample of this tea today in my new gaiwan and cup from Nannuoshan! I love the buttery grilled taste of this tea and it was so beautiful to enjoy in my new teaware, which is also amazing! I think I did pretty well not burning my fingers with a true gaiwan! Yay! All my previous gaiwans were “easy” gaiwans. I was waiting until one “spoke” to me and this one did! Here are some pics:

The gaiwan has a bird on a branch and the cup is a grasshopper with some grass! Are you on Instagram? I have some close-up pics from the day it came in the mail. :)
How pretty! I love the lined rim. What is the design on the front?

Ah, the bird gaiwan and insect cup. They are beautiful.
Thanks, Ubacat! :)
