Is this real Yixing? If not, would anyone mind recommending a reliable of dealer of authentic Yixing? Having a hard time finding ones I like that are of some quality. Thanks!
Re: Real Yixing?
Yep. It's real.
Jing, thechineseteashop, Sample Tea, Hou De, Red Blossom, Dragon Tea House (eBay), Wisdom China (eBay), and some stuff from Zen8Tea (eBay).

Yes genuine zisha; that's a lovely Xi Shi. You'll certainly brew good tea in that pot.
Re: Real Yixing?
I bought one of these pots a while back for shu puerh. It seems to be seasoning nicely and I generally like it. The only problem is the lid is slightly loose which causes there to be a slight drip when pouring. For the price I would still recommend it.

No worries, you'll get the hang of it. Many forums have crappy search engines, but the one here is pretty good.Tencha wrote:Sorry. I'm just in the wrong places I guess. Haha

Don't let such trifle worry you. It is actually quite a common thing. Yixing pots are not electronic devices.Exempt wrote:The only problem is the lid is slightly loose which causes there to be a slight drip when pouring.

Haha, thanks. I don't mind it, but theres some pretty die hard yixing lovers on here and I've seen people comment on this flaw many times before.bagua7 wrote:Don't let such trifle worry you.

Most Cultural Revolution (1966–76) Yixings from factory have loose lid and drips. If you find a perfect lid fitted pot and its under US$500. Do question.Exempt wrote:Haha, thanks.

Re: Real Yixing?
Instead of starting another topic, I might as well ask here.
Any thoughts about of this pot? http://tinyurl.com/bjrv6lw
It's pretty cheap, claims to be handmade, and it LOOKS like a nice pot (for the price range at least) to me.
However, I don't exactly trust Aliexpress, the seller has no feedback, and they don't list the size (guessing <100ml), so it seems a bit sketchy.

Not only that, buying from Alibaba (and DHGate) is a sure way of receiving products that are not as good as described; and on top of that, is not worth returning the products because they won't respond to your requests.

I can't stop thinking of alibaba and the forty thieves.
