Hi Milo. Have you considered using a gaiwan? They don't have
netting, but with a little practice you'll find that almost no tea
gets through into your cup. Because they are porcelain, you can use
them for pretty much any kind of tea, and they clean very easily. If
I were restricted to one kind of pot, that would be it.
You can find them at Jing Tea Shop, Yunnan Sourcing LLC, or Hou De.
Best,
Alex
