Well, I dont know what they are saying but I reckon that it may not be a "Yixing" since the guy is throwing it on a wheel

Yes, it is about Chao Zhou wheel-used teapots.

Source is that, Chao Zhou's degree of absorptiveness can be up to 7%(Zhuni's less than 2%), so that's too much for fragnant light Oolongs. Should be watched out!

Interesting! I have been wondering why people are so crazy about zhuni. Of course it's beautiful and cute, and relatively hard to manipulate. But this 7% vs. 2% data says a lot!

So, is it all right to assume that for traditional roast of oolong, zhuni doesn't have that much advantage over chao zhou clay?
