I've been using a Jianshui clay pot from Crimson Lotus for puerh, which I like, but want to try something else - specifically for aged/middle aged raw puerh. Do the experienced here have thoughts on this pot from Chawang? I am worried the single hole will get clogged easy.

The clay is very good for aged Pu Erh. I have a my second aged Pu Erh pot a pot form Chawangshop from very similar clay. I personally prefer single hole pots. When it gets clogged just use a pinching tool.
Ended up getting this pot. Had a couple sessions already and like it quite a bit. I actually like the single hole better than my other pot with multi-hole filter. Just for my own knowledge - the listing says Factory 2 or 5 pot, but then the description says High level product from Factory 2. How would I know if it's F2 or 5 and does it really matter?

@JayinHK - i'll keep my eyes open for a hong ni pot.

Doesn't really matter, but ask Honza.

Congratulations :)

Factory 2 or 5 isn't that important. Sometimes difficult to know for sure. I much prefer single hole pots, i find the flow is better, quicker.
