An organic sencha this morning and Irish Breakfast this evening (as I type in fact) brewed in a Brown Betty :) Brown Bettys are kind of like giant yixings. Same general shape although with a long spout.
Is it glazed or unglazed inside? It's been driving me crazy because I thought I read somewhere that they were only glazed on the outside. Do they make as excellent tea as they say?
It's glazed dark brown inside and out. I have read about BBs that are only glazed on the outside if that is any comfort. :wink:

This year will be better than last year simply because I have a better idea of what teas I like and which vendors are good.

I'm learning more all the time, so I expect that this year will be an improvement.
