Hey guys!
I really want to brew in a Yixing pot! I can't seem to choose one because i can't tell what is quality and what is not and i want to make the right decision! I currently have a Cast Iron that i love but i tend to brew just a cup at a time in a regular infuser. Any suggestions?
Re: Best place to order quality Yixing pot at decent pricing?
I was in your same shoes about two years ago when I first got into yixing, and teaware in general. I made about 3 or 4 "mistake" purchases before actually getting a nice pot (for a westerners standards).
Since then I've about completed my yixing collection, which they all get used for brewing. About a total of 9 pots. And 6 of those pots came from Essence of Tea and JingTeaShop combined. You may pay a little premium than some other online vendors but the quality is pretty much guaranteed. Others to look into:
SampleTea
Lifeinteacup
HoudeAsianArt
Teamasters
TheChineseTeaShop (i would steer clear of a few but most seem good)
White2Tea (not a lot of yixing goes through the vendor but I just received a pot and it's dandy
)
