I am wondering about the best shape of yixing to use for greener oolongs-a
li shans etc. I love the lemon peel top notes of the scent of those and I was thinking about the Reidel wine glasses that are designed to enhance a particular type of wine's fragrance. Does anyone have an opinion as to which is teh best (in their experience)? For instance, is there anyone here that has a separate pot for darker oolongs and one for greener ones or one pot for da hong pao and one for a li shan? I am thinking that perhaps the greener ones need to be a lower temp, so some type of yixing that might cool off quicker? My main mental image is regular round bellied yixing versus a tall one versus a flat one (the coin type) with the big mouth. Does anyone have any experience with brewing green oolongs in a yixing and what type of pot did they pick and how do they like it for the top notes? Melinda -- "I know. You know I know.
