enjoyingtea yixing set?

by AnthonyA » Mar 17th, '09, 02:11

Hello folks,

I have been getting into gongfu brewing and was looking for some advice on a potential purchase. Does anyone have experience with this set?

http://www.enjoyingtea.com/stgoteaset.html

It looks like a pretty decent deal, my only concern is the pot. So, has anyone purchased a pot from this dealer? Also, if anyone has a comparable or better set in mind and could point me in that direction that would be great.

As you may read in diffrent posts, stay away from clay teasets, they are not made of zisha, they are cheap factory imitations, try Yunnan sourcing from ebay for teapots, and dragon teahouse for the pitcher and teacups, avoid those sets you cannot see the quality on the picture, but if somebody puts a real handmade zisha in you hand and that fake one the diffrence is obvious.

Just don't get clay cups or gaiwans unless you know for sure that they are of good quality.

i think these teaset is not like the pic, the yixing teapot has alot of kinds, the worst is $5, but it is not really zisha. a good zisha clay teapot set in more than $100, only in yixing,china, i think sell out yixing indeed china are more costly.

i can commend you a teapot set total handmade by cheng jianmin artist.
