I always wondered why people would spend hundreds of dollars on tea utensils. When I collected mine from Japan all of it (one complete set of tea bowls and other utensils) costed $1,000, which is pretty good for what I got. One day I got two tea bowls from my Japanese student, and it was so nice looking I put it in my tea dresser. Lately I was longing to make tea in that tea bowl. I took it out, and noticed that even if it was one of my favorite that I haven`t used it much. I had this image that you save the bowls that I like for when I host people. I asked myself why I do this. I soon realized that using the bit high end but the bowls that I like is what is going to give my tea making a bliss. Since then on I was looking at a little more expensive tea bowls online. I still have hesitation in buying tea bowls over $50, but I feel like I know the trick to making tea ceremonies and drinking tea magical.
