Yo! So??? How's the pot been? Had some time to kick the tires now... how's it in real world use?t4texas wrote:Good looking pots, Trioxin. My dragon egg version came last week - less than three weeks by SAL. No off smell here either, and it looks and feels great. I am doing a three day Oolong seasoning and will try it out soon. The YSLLC site says 130 ml, but I measure it at about 100 ml, which is fine for gung fu.
I use this 100cc teapot to make cliff tea

The three day seasoning seems to make a difference on this pot. I like it a lot and use it for Shu Xian for now, but have not been using it daily. I may switch to another tea for it and am open to suggestions about what may work well.Bubba_tea wrote:Yo! So??? How's the pot been?

There may be a way to post photos directly from Shutterfly, but I don't know how.
I post them from Photobucket. You can open a free Photobucket account and upload the photos to that account. Copy the IMG link that accompanies your photo and paste it in your post here. The photo remains at Photobucket, but magically looks like it is here.
It's not a bad idea to resize the photo (either in your own software or in Photobucket) to no more that 600 pixels in the longest dimension, otherwise people using Internet Explorer get some minor but irritating image size problems. You can also upload the photo to photobucket and copy and paste a "Direct Link" here; the photo won't appear in TeaChat, but the link will take people to it.
You can paste a small (600 px) photo in here and link to a larger image (if you have both in photobucket) or a different image or a slide show by filling your Direct Links into the following formula in a TeaChat post:

Yes, and Scott told me the supplier said it was hand-made with some use of molds. This is not a big deal to me. They are not slip cast or made on an electric wheel. These are very good pots at an attractive price point.Oni wrote:At YS the description said it was hand made, and with some pot it said it was semi - hand made.
I read at the leaf magazine that it is hard to find authentic handmade zisha these days, I know about the Lao Zhu Ni, I just need a good teapot for the tea, it is the tea I am interested in so if this teapot brews just as fine as a completely handmade on I will be satisfyed.
By the way what is your opinion about where can I find collection yixing pots.
