Searching for my first teapot

by yinyuetea » Aug 19th, '24, 20:34

Hello everyone!
After some years using gaiwan for all type of teas, I would like to take the next step, buying a good teapot.
As I'm a yancha person, I have done some research about what type of teapot would match with it, but the info I get is just confusing. I found some discussion about using Yixing or Jianshui, and I found people that prefer to brew it with a gaiwan too (so maybe I should buy a teapot for other type of tea which brewing with teapot makes the difference). I'm also quite confused with the subtypes of Yixing and the different shapes. To sum up, I don't know where to start with.
I hope someone can give me some advice and opinion to start searching in the right way. Thank you for your attention!

I'm just now seeing this, but I'm genuinely interested - what did you go with if anything?
