Teapot for my Assams and Darjeelings

by RussianSoul » May 12th, '08, 21:21

I now have both my Chinese and Japanese teas properly situated with nice teapots. But I still brew my Indian blacks in a small tetsubin. I understand that people use either Yixing or porcelain pots for black tea.

Which is more recommended?

Talking about porcelain pots, where can I find a one cup sized one? I prefer to brew all my tea one cup at a time, but have not seen 9-10 oz porcelain pots anywhere.

Appreciate your help!

Unlikely to be what you want, but for a simple black tea I swear by my Brew-in-Mug from ForLife. It's by far the most convenient single session method of brewing tea. Otherwise, the greens and oolongs get better treatment. They demand it. :P

I'm brewing my first flush Darjeelings in a Yixing. Certain Darjeelings though (like the Castleton Moonlight) are just too unique and get brewed in a glass pot. I'd like to find a nice porcelain, but must are just too damned big.
