chaozhou versatility

How versatile are chaozhou teapots?
Besides dan cong, is there anything else you could use it for?
Im planning on getting a couple in the next week or so.
I decided to get chaozhou over yixing due to difficulty of finding good yixin online and pricing. And also because i like mostly dan congs lol.
Does anyone have any info or links to chaozhou tea kettles?

Imen, http://www.teahabitat.com/store/
The one where you should start. Good journey.

I bought an 80ml pot from Imen. I'm real happy with it.

I think they would be very appropriate for roasted tieguanyin or for wuyi yancha.

very similar/identical? looking kettle at chawang, with a couple less nice bases to choose from, available at chawangteashop if $175-245 for a set is a little too much.

That tall base at teahabit looks like it would be the best out of bunch though.

The question is really whether you would like a nicer, noticeably taller base, or an extra set of kettle and base in case something breaks or you want two brew stations.
For $225.50 you could buy the two red clay kettles, and the two bases, shipping inc. at chawang.

Happy tea shopping

Going to have to save up for those, very nice though and would be fun to get a few friends around it.
Thanks!

Are you looking for a kettle, or for a teapot? I know you mentioned kettle in your first post, but you also said teapot.

The things in the previous post are for boiling water with charcoal, not for brewing tea.

Im mostly intersted in the pots, but wanted to find more about the kettles,
so both
