Arrgh, after a trip into the city and to every single Asian market
trying to buy a simple three piece tea infuser mug set for a gift I have come up empty handed. I hit 6 stores and none had a single one. Looking online isn't producing much in the way of normally priced ones, if anyone knows of a online store for these that has a decent selection/price I'd appreciate a link. Google/Froogle haven't turned up anything like I had hoped for, and I'm out of options. I was hoping someone knew of a chain store or online store that sells them that may have missed my radar. Thanks, - Dominic |

Hi Dominic,
Are these what you're talking about? http://www.imperialtea.com/AB1002000...&Category_ID=7 http://www.imperialtea.com/AB1002000...&Category_ID=7 http://www.shanshuiteas.com/product....ctCategoryID=5 http://www.rishi-tea.com/store/produ...&cat=11&page=1 http://www.taooftea.com/shop42-Tea_Filter_Cups.html http://teasource.com/merchant2/merch...roduct_Count=9 http://teasource.com/merchant2/merch...oduct_Count=12 Or are you talking about something else? If so, my apologies.

Hey Dominic,
Are you talking about the covered mugs or gaiwan/gaibei? I have tons of the latter, as I use them primarily to infuse/consume tea on a daily basis. Tenren.com has three which are priced very well at around eight bucks (and aesthetically pleasing for someone's first gaiwan, if I say so myself). They also have the infuser mugs, too. If you are just looking for a covered mug, I'd suggest getting a gaiwan too. For me, tea just doesn't taste the same if it isn't brewed in a gaiwan. Get a gaiwan. You'll thank me later. -Mike |

They're going for about $5 in my Asian stores. I know that doesn't
help you but gives you the idea of the cost. I watched some BookTV yesterday and learned why Andrew Carnegie left town and went to New York.

How does $3.75 sound?
I got my last box of them from this outfit. http://www.asianfoodgrocer.com/index...S&Category=767 |

With an infuser cup a person makes an easy transition from tea bags to
loose tea. Gaiwans and Yixing pots might take a little longer. |
