Carrying on my ongoing quest for better tea sets, water container is the first thing I want to target. For almost 2 weeks now, with the help of Michael of TTG and my wife, we have been tasting water most of the time....
Sounds boring? Perhaps this is the most critical element to have a nearly perfect cup of tea.
The final candidate for nesting our water is a early Qing dynasty (1644-1911) water container. We used Poland Spring water, which has a clean, sweet but mild hardness quality. After storing the water over night in this container, it has been sweetened, softened, smoothened and lightened.
We are also testing this lighter water with flowers to see if it will bring them LONGEVITY. Hopefully, we can finally have some tea soon....

Thank you eileen. I am very fortunately, because Michael (TTG owner) has an amazing private collection of Chinese art.
