First thing to notice, it's a blue clay! Very thin walled, unique shape, about 180ml. The lid seal is not very good, but it does have a fast pour and comfortable grip. It does get very hot during the brewing process, so be careful.
I've tried it with greens and oolongs, but I think it's better suited for greens since boiling water makes the clay get a bit soft. It produces a brew with a very thick mouthfeel, much more viscous than I've ever had before. It imparts its own unique flavor, like camphor only stronger. It's not really the flavor profile I go for, but the aftertaste is really long- even an hour later the taste wouldn't go away.
Even though it was a gift from my wife, she says it's ok to sell it. In fact she said she can't even believe I tried using it all. Maybe she meant it was just decorative. I asked her if $50 would be a reasonable offer price and she thought I'd be lucky to get anything for it, so i'll make it $35 + shipping, comes with its own cardboard box.
