They rebranded to the Western market as SpringTeaware. Their old site flagged by my AV and one of my FF extensions wouldn't let me access their site, lol. Anyway, good to see they fixed their online dramas and back to business.cnltc345 wrote:No more as of they went out of business? What happened to them?
Their pots are good quality modern Yixing, sure they have better clays but you can't buy pots made with them online; it takes time for the Chinese to open up especially to strangers and foreigners, it's a Confucian thing.
