I know it has been asked before, but maybe there are more opinions, or those with experience. Do you believe that steel mesh filter affects the taste of tea? I just got a nice banko from Yuuki cha, and I really like it. It drains very very fast, within 2-3 seconds and looks nice too. I don't know if I can post the link yet, but here is the website. Does anyone else own this one? What do you think? Also, do you think tokoname pots are worth it?
