I think this just goes to show that there are no real definitive rules on pairing teas to Yixings

A good discussion of matching Yixing with tea came up here nearly a year ago:

I think discussing matching Yixing with tea is a topic that will keep coming up for years to come, because it is so complex and fraught with uncertainty.

As I recall the one from the internet archive was superior for some reason... images maybe? Additional sections? Does anyone else remember this?
I looked around for this again. Billy Mood had a site at www.modeep.com ca. 2000. Users at rfdt talk about the site and buying pots from him.

The version from the Internet Archive that I remember reading first was the modeep site, which seems to have been killed from the archive due to the new url hawkers adding a robots.txt file.
