I've been sampling many green and oolong teas lately. I have a yixing pot that I was using with some Tie Guan Yin. After discovering Darjeeling I've decided that it's my favorite (though I still like having a variety of tea on hand, for different moods/times of day, etc.). Is a yixing pot suitable for darjeeling? So far I've been brewing it in a gaiwan or teapot, but if the flavor can be enhanced by using in a yixing I could either prep the one I have to switch, or get a new one.
Thanks.

In particular the second flush ones. I have little experience brewing first flushes (execpt for an arya ruby ff, which is kinda dark in appearance like a second flush). But the arya ruby ff was great in the yixing.
