Regardless of where you fall on the political spectrum, or where you stand on the big issues of the day, one thing we can all agree on is the importance of maintaining high-quality beverage availability AT ALL TIMES. This is essential if we are to succeed as a species. There are no winners when we drink crummy tea.
Thank goodness for our friends in Great Britain who have established the Emergency Tea Unit to ensure access to good quality tea for all citizens. This is how civilization is done, and it is very inspiring.

Tea Equipage
Thursday, March 25th, 2010
One of the reasons I got into tea was so I could say “equipage” when referring to cups, mugs, kettles, pots, spoons, etc. Now that’s ATTITUDE.
There’s some odd equipage out there. Do you have odd equipage? Then seek medical attention. Meanwhile, here’s some of the oddest equipage I own.
One day, I will roam the earth in an Airstream trailer, stopping to sip tea under the awning. Until then, I will enjoy tea from this pot I received as a birthday gift. Schweet. That’s Kory trying to mug into the shot.
Who doesn’t love drinking tea from The Dark Lord of the Steep? I use this mug for dark brews only. If it’s a really good cuppa, I say “Impressive. Most impressive.” Seriously, I do.
This double-walled titanium mug from Japan is so light you think it will blow away in the wind. The double wall keeps my hands cool even when the brew is raging hot. Fantastic! I love the simplicity of the design.
What kind of tea did they drink in the sunken city of R’lyeh? No one knows. This is my Sunday morning mug. Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn!
For more cool, interesting, or just plain odd equipage, then check out the fantastic Cha Cha Tea Tea blog.
