Oh my, a whole class of teaware I don't have and didn't realize existed! The ones I have are definitely glazed inside just like outside.geeber1 wrote: The Brown Betty is unglazed inside.

I've been reading more about them today and can't remember where I read that they weren't glazed inside, I am very possibly wrong about that! I'll let you know when I have mine in-hand and can actually look into it.Salsero wrote:Oh my, a whole class of teaware I don't have and didn't realize existed!

I do not believe they are unglazed inside. But they are made of a certain clay, then glazed. They are very popular.

Oh well, they are supposed to be good pots anyway ... I just like the shape of them!Victoria wrote:I do not believe they are unglazed inside. But they are made of a certain clay, then glazed.

Guess I have an excuse to get a Yixing now, since I want an unglazed pot too.
Sounds like a plan to me!
Currently drinking the last steeps of a different Dancong now - this one
from Jing Tea Shop.
For a girl who didn't particularly care for Dancongs, I sure have been
drinking a lot of them.

I suspect this year will be a better tea year than last cos I am now more skilled at brewing. I also have a better idea of who the good vendors are.
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?murrius wrote:I suspect this year will be a better tea year than last cos I am now more skilled at brewing.
