Teaware and "just us " oolong

After such a long absence I am back with a new teaware find and a new tea which I actually found in town, miracles will never cease.  So here's a couple shots of the cups I bought which are made by a localish artist: Susan Davar,  a resedent of Onanole mb




And now the tea.  Its an oolong that I bought from the new bistro in town.
6.1g in dayi gaiwan 90c
1st: 1m
Dark almost like a black tea so higher oxidation kinda nutty dry finish.
2nd. 30s
Dark fruits and dryness verry dark for an oolong plesent but not complex
3rd. 1m
Less dark more floral. Still dry.
4th 2m.
Flavor has pretty much died down to something like a standard black tea.
Leaves 

 
Thoughts? A reasonably priced tea but nothing spectacular. Imo its about 10% too oxidised the aroma is nice though.

Food
I had the goan prawn curry and mom had the chili chicken  both were delicious with the goan being really delicate and the chicken being more robust and spicy. Best curry iv had in a really long time.
Prices were decent id recomend it the atmosphere was nice too.
