Ah, but a few youtube lessons and an $8 investment at a craft store could yield you one of these beauties.

hmm, seems like its difficult to manly stuff for tea. I'm noting a trend here, maybe we first need to come up with a manly teapot first...

MachoTeaman?

Kyusu-s, Yixing, and scores of others. These are certainly "manly" enough for male posters of TeaChat.

You mean the NBA Yixing doesn't do it for you? In all honesty besides a large number of Western Style teapots, most of them are rather gender neutral. Granted some of them do tend to have flowers, but usually they are more nature themed than gender biased.

I've never gone in for Yixing pots. On a personal level, the Oriental tea culture has never appealed to me. I brew my tea in a glass French Press and I never use a tea cozy.

The wife has several cozies (she's British, we have many tea trinkets...), but they go unused. Though when you drink tea as often and as fast we do, there is no need for a tea cozy...

But as teapot go, I find the aesthetic of the typical design feminine (and not a very flattering feminine - if my wife was as round as most teapots...)
