Show Off Your Pots and Cups X

[Tead Off]

hooksie,

Since you've got the purion and the regular pot, do a side by side test to see if you notice any change in flavor and aroma. Puerh should be a good test.

What I would do first, is to brew the tea in porcelain and pour into a faircup. Then from the faircup, pour some into the regular pot and some into the purion. Then pour into porcelain cups for the test. The tea does not have to be brewed in those pots for you to see a difference. They just need to be held in the pots for some seconds for any change to take place. I'm looking forward to your results.

I picked these up while in Hong Kong from Best Tea House and Sheung Yu Tea Shop. Both are really well made, the bottom one completely by hand from Chaozhou clay.

Those look like a couple great pots, e d o. I would love to visit The Best Tea House someday. It sounds like it really is the best tea house in the world.

I bought these a few years or so ago at the Hong Kong Tea Museum Shop. These were my first yixing purchases. The yellow teapot is 130 ml and the dark brown is 115 ml. The dark brown pot seems a bit different from most yixing pots I've seen since. It has thicker walls and has a pretty dull and less smooth surface - maybe fired at a lower temp? Any thoughts appreciated. (Will try to improve pictures for next batch of photos)

The brownish pot looks to be yixing purple clay, zi ni, or some variation. I would try some Puerh in it and see how it does with that.

Yellow clay is usually Duan ni, I believe. I don't know what kind of teas are thought to go well in these pots. It is not a color that many people go for. Don't know why.

If you search around the web, you can find lots of info on the different clays.

I was at the Tea Museum shop last week. They have some nice pots for sale.

I quite like it, but it does remind me of the soy sauce type pourers in Chinese restuarants. Seems like it should brew greens fine. I assume it has a screen?

[funkmaster nice]

bitterness out of kuding?! wow I need to get one of those.

[wyardley]

I could be wrong, but isn't that designed to be a sharing pitcher, rather than a teapot?

I thought it resembled a soy sauce container more than a teapot.

[Victoria]

I think it's pretty cute!

[hooksie]

Perhaps they make sharing pitcher styles, but there are definitely vessels like that used for brewing too.

Hello !

I'm a newbie, I follow the teachat.com since a while and as I saw that topic I thought 'why not ?' and then I posted that pictures about my teaware, but the photos are from last year, a few things changed now...

And I also wanted to practice again my poor english...

At that time I had a few packages of Fuji The Ultimate Shincha from www.zencha.net and the tiny green package contains Temomicha from www.makinouen.co.jp

On the bottom you can see a Kaneta Masanao Yunomi.

Will post later what I use now as kyusu, a Sado Island red clay kyusu by Watanabe Tozo.

Thank you for those pictures.
Now, my wife will know some one else has more tea ware
