Ya-Ya’s Tea-Board

News from the Teahouse, about tea and more

New Yixing teapots arriving soon and Ya-Ya now on Facebook

[ IMAGE: New arrivals: Teapots from China ] I’ve been pretty busy in the last couple of weeks since my return from the Zealong plantation, and today’s post won’t be a long one, but I wanted to share some exciting news with you.

To start with, I would like to announce the imminent arrival of a new shipment of teapots from China’s famous pottery city - Yixing. The shipment includes the tea pots pictured in the title photo of this post, as well as about 20 other different designs. The cargo is scheduled to land on Saturday in Auckland and is expected around 12 Dec here in Christchurch - just in time for Christmas! With this shipment, there will also be a number of different tea trays. Many people have asked in the past for these and the original stock we had sold out pretty quickly - back in the teahouse days.

The other big news is that we now have a page on Facebook for the teahouse. You might have seen the Facebook Like box on the right. Our Facebook page is going to be the outlet to share short(er) bits of information, fast. For this blog, I usually take some time to write posts that require quite a bit of work, but I’m using Facebook for quicker updates. I also am planning to run discount campaigns on Facebook for our ‘fans’, so why don’t you head over and ‘like’ us. I would also love to see Facebook opening the way for an exchange between Ya-Ya and our friends and customers in an informal way.

    Hi,

    You have very lovely YiXing Teapots. I have seen them at other stores, most recently in Portland, Maine at Soakology Foot Sanctuary and tea shop. They are all lovely.

    I try to visit tea shops when I can. Unfortunately proprietors are not always as welcoming as could be. Even when they know you will be stopping in. They are too busy for browsers or not serious writer.

    I say this because I visited Nellie’s Tea and Gift shop yesterday and it is a lovely shop. I finally persuaded husband to take drive all the way to Maine from Massachusetts; and Marianne the store owner was kind to inform us of several other tea shops but not addresses right away. It is not her job to know. I am researcher I should have checked up on what else is in Maine. Last year 2011 I began this project and encountered many stumbling blocks. I have said far too much. Nice tea pots and good article on Matcha. I saw some at Dobra Tea in Portland, ME but had not money to purchase, so I purchased a small pin for $1.00 and it is on my book bag.

    Happy tea.

    Hi Ainee,
    thanks for your comment. I know what you mean by not-so-much-forthcoming shop owners. I guess, we all have different personalities.
    You should try some matcha if you get the chance, it’s quite special.
