When brewing fine green and white teas with the gaiwan trying brewing with the sun roof open (aka lid off)JRS22 wrote:The peacock infuser mug is really pretty, but it may not work well with anything but black tea. I have an infuser mug with a stainless steel basket with fine holes, so in theory I can steep any tea in it. In fact it doesn't work well with delicate green teas. My theory is that with the lid on it holds in too much heat - more than a teapot with a spout. I don't drink black tea so I use it for genmaicha and houjicha. But again, it might be just fine with black tea, and it is pretty.
Just as an aside, I typed "gaiwan" into the search box and it asked me if I was looking for 'swan".
and please don't say you have a dolphin teapot without posting pics. I've got to go to bed now and I believe the frustration of not seeing such a pot will keep me awake all night.
