Hey me again. Don't buy another YiXing. Since you are experimenting with the
tea, you want porcelain because it will in no way interact with the flavor
of the tea as an YiXing pot would. If you buy an YiXing pot, you will get
interaction between the clay and the tea and later between the old tea
residue and new tea. This is considered a good thing, but not what you want
right now. To test a new tea, or introduce yourself to one, you want
porcelain, which means a gaiwan or a small porcelain pot. Good luck.
