First teapot for Japanese tea

[Alex]

Cooler water is all well and good but don't discount hotter water until you've tried it with the tea..

I always try higher with new teas but always prefer more tea and low temp. Different strokes and all that

To the OP I'd grab a Tachi Masaki Banko pot. The clay is superb, filter is easy to use and the price is extremely good value.
