Who Sells Kathy Hatch’s Purr-Fect Tea for One Teapot Set?

Buy this Purr-Fect Tea For One Teapot Set by Kathy Hatch!

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who drink tea and those who don’t.  Others say that the human species are divided into people who are cat lovers and people who are not.

One way or the other, this tea for one teapot set, is for tea drinkers who love cats. No ifs, buts or maybes about it.

The design is imaginative and ultimately looks very little like a tea set at all. I think that is the theme of this design. Fantasy. A break from reality, perhaps just what a cup of tea is supposed to be.

The credit goes to well known artist, Kathy Hatch. A Pennsylvania native, her work is well known across the US. She gets her inspiration from her garden and five pets in rural Connecticut.

The tea set is mad up of a pair of cats, snuggled up close, to keep the tea warm, inside i.e. they are the tea pot. They even have a scarf to make sure that no heat escapes. Small details are painted on, such as the eyes, noses, whiskers and unmistakable kitty stripes. The feline duo are seated on top of the tea cup which in turn is designed as a plant pot complete with some fake cracks and a little flower, presumably peeping out of an imaginary hole. You will either find this funny or just plain bizarre, depending on your sentiments toward these night time creatures. A third cat is cleverly deployed cozying up to the tea cup or should I say, plant pot, with his tail extending out and doubling up as the handle for the tea cup.

My judgment would be that this is a great item for the underage or for those determined not to grow up, even if just for a few minutes in the day. Time enough to drink two cups of tea from their Kathy Hatch’s Purr-Fect Tea for One Teapot Set, to be precise.

It has a footprint of 6 inches by 6 inches and stands 6 and ¾ inches tall.

The Tea For One Teapot

In Japanese culture, the tea ceremony is considered to be an essence of their aesthetics that is a ritual that dates back as far as the 16th century. Then the illustrious tea master Sen no Rikyu performed cha-do to perfection, or what is called the “way of tea.” Since then it has become a ceremony that has changed very little in nearly half a millennium.

It is important that before you start you own tea ceremony that you gather your tea tools. It is also an ideal idea to have a tea set aside primarily for rituals. However if you do not have a tea set, you must take the time to find one. Searching for the perfect tea for one teapot is not to be hurried. Nothing about tea should be hurried.

In some cases it may take weeks, or even years, before you find the perfect teapot. This should not stop you from searching for one. After all, once you have bought the perfect teapot, the satisfaction and delight that you will experience will make your tea ceremony more special. When you are searching for your teapot you should have an initial idea of what it is you want. What exactly do you want to achieve with your tea ceremony? Do you want to have a teapot that is clear of any designs? Are you searching for a clear style, which will allow wisdom in without being influenced by anything else surrounding your teapot? Or maybe you want a design such as a dragon, or blossoms, or even a peach on your teapot. Maybe you want Chinese writing or a bamboo design that has been delicately traced around your teapot in glaze. You may even be considering an English bone china teapot.

Before deciding on what you feel is right, hold each teapot in your hands. Get a feel for it. Does it feel right? Do not pick a teapot because it looks pretty. However, keep in mind that what you may chose now, you may decide against later. So be prepared to change with what you are feeling as time goes by.

A tea for one teapot is one of the main features of the tea ceremony. After all, the teapot is where you will be holding your water, after you have determined the source of your water. The right teapot will bring your tea to life after the water has been poured in and has been brought to boil. That first taste will make a lasting impression, which is why searching for the right teapot is a process that will take time.
