Hobbs,

I prefer using pots with the teas that are supposed to have a pleasant
odor. My Gao Shans are exclusively brewed in different pots depending
on the oxidation level. I didn't see what it did for pu'er very much,
though. Can you expound on that?

I like the glass because it gives a clean flavor.
