These entry level Yixing pots look good to me!

[kyarazen]

I oredered a jiangponi shui ping Yixing from this vendor and it's been working GREAT paired with aged sheng! I'm quite happy with it and will probably order another 1 or 2 when I can.

jiang po is great, the natural iron content benefits tea very well. a material of my choice if i haz to pick a more recent pot

Generalizing, is often the wrong thing to do when it comes to judging which teapots go with a certain kind of tea. Because clays vary, even the same type of clay, in their thickness, shape, and firing, will not be suitable for every type of tea.

As a starting point, flatter shapes (wider) will usually accomodate longer teas like Wuyi, Dancong, and some other types using long rather than balled or small leafed teas.

Rounder and taller pots will usually accomodate ball oolings, TGY, black teas, etc.

These are not hard and fast rules. A thin walled pot will generally be better for rolled oolongs like TGY and Taiwan high mountain teas. While Puerh teas seem to do well with slightly thicker walls and more porous clays. Ultimately, you will have to experiment and see what works for you. The main thing is to find clays that are pure and not adulterated with chemical substances or colored with various oxides. If these Jiangponi teapots are made with pure clay and fired well, the chances are that they will work well.

+1 about jiangpo.

My favourite clay for puerh so far. It's a winner. Interesting the fact about how this clay was recently discovered (90s) in Yixing as a result of a land slide beside a local road which uncovered the clay ore, lol.

So glad I saw this thread! I just purchased this teapot after spending waaaay too much time browsing online when I should have been working:

Seemed pretty confident in the seller as he's not making any wacky claims, but since this was my first teapot purchase I was still a little concerned post-payment. This thread quickly put my mind at ease! Even more excited for my new pot now!

The actual colour is lighter, good quality, beautiful, and no strange smell.

How's the wall thickness/firing on his zhuni pots?

[bagua7]

Not too thick. I got a 120mL pot I use for Taiwan oolongs. If you like I can post a pic showing the walls thickness, so you can get a rough idea.

[jayinhk]

That would be great! Thanks

[Devoted135]

Thank you for this thread! Thinking about this one, what sort of teas would you try first in this type of clay?
