We love hearing from customers who are enjoying tea wares bought from Wan Ling Tea House. In this article we share one customer's connection to his Zhu Ni Yixing teapot he bought from us a while ago.
"Dear James,
It is more than two years now since I bought my Shi Piao Yixing teapot from you.
Shortly after I bought it you asked me to let you know how it was going, as Mr Ge liked to know how his products fared.
So, having just placed an order with you for more tea, I was thinking about this and thought I should send you a photograph of the teapot I took earlier this year.
I think getting that second Yixing teapot sort of marked the point where I started a 'collection' and I wanted to show it off; having the beautiful Hua Sheng tea cup and the Lu Yu tea pet from you really added to the character of the photograph, so they stayed in in the final cut. I used this photo as the cover photo for a Facebook page of mine for some time.

For all that it is changing its appearance and character, I still love the simple pleasure of making tea with it, especially when the weather is good and I can do this in our garden. I love its shape and actually enjoy rinsing and drying it because I like to hold it in my hands. It is a delight and one that is becoming more delightful as I use it more."
A big thanks to our tea friend for taking the time to share the picture and his enjoyment of the tea wares. We hope he will continue to enjoy them for years to come.
Have a story of your own you'd like to share with us and other tea lovers? We'd love to hear about it.
