One is enough, but it's fun to have a few and rotate among them.

Cheers!

One is enough, important thing is to get it right.

One is enough, but when does "enough" have anything to do with it? :lol:

0, as I don't feel I need a yixing for something like raw puerh, which can vary drastically. I find a Gaiwan works just fine.

One is fine. That being said, if you can afford the occasional really old stuff, 2 is the right amount IMHO.

I use 2. One for Wet stored and the other for aged dry stored.

I use a gaiwan for all of my young sheng.

I currently keep three out and rotate the pot when I open a new cake.
I have twice that many still in the box's they came in.
I would like to put them on display someday.
I, I, I, :oops: :roll:
