I have a new technique, new for me, obviously. I put the leaves in a bag, put the bag in the teapot (I have only one, Japanese of porcelain) and add the water to it. I used this the last two days, with Sencha Friday and yesterday, with Keemun to day. It is great for washing the Sencha and for re-steeping it.
I am sort of caressing the preliminary intention of maybe letting myself go toward thinking of perhaps giving consideration to the opportunity of an eventual action toward inquiring about the purchase (brrr, what a chilly wind on my poor shoulders) of one of those ceramic Japanese teapot for Sencha 
about 30 bucks.
for 14 euro I could get this for the office.
I'll let someone else have fun with this idea.
BTW I found a
site in Italian that list many tea sellers on line around the world. I am putting it up after google has done its things to it.
With Sencha I used a tiny chinese cup, like the one in Chinese restaurants. With Keemun I liked best my thin glass cup. I have some wider Japanese cups that I might try. I use them for food mostly, but they might go with tea. I find Japanese design more pleasing to the eye.
