I read the blog off and on and have been going through the older posts so sorry if this is a year late. We have traditional tea houses here in SoCal, but they’re mostly either Chinese, Taiwanese, or Japanese ones. Some of the ones here mostly save their handmade pottery and cast iron pots for sale rather then use. The ones you guys used looked hand done, are they? Were they from local potters? And if the ones on display were sale items how much were they?

When you think of Asian pottery people tend to think of Japanese ceramics first and maybe Chinese after. I can get Japanese stuff easy here, and occasionally Taiwanese pieces but I always have a hard time spotting Korean ceramics outside of antique shops, which is a shame since Korea has such a rich ceramics history.

Anyway, I love tea but I was drooling over all the beautiful pottery.

I love traditional tea houses! Do Koreans have a tea ceremony like they do in Taiwan and Japan?

I love tea houses and there’s plenty of them in Japan too! It’s a great way to relax. The tea houses here typically use traditional tea-making techniques too which is something I’ve never experienced before. Highly recommended!

What a beautiful place! It looks really relaxing and pleasant. (I need to know if there is a similar place here)
About barbecued intestines: we eat it here in Argentina and it’s called “Chinculines a la parrilla”. It sounds disgusting, but it’s actually liked by many people here. 🙂
