Default What do you brew in?

I was wondering what is the prefered vessel to brew Darjeelings,
keemuns, and yunnans in. I use a Brown Betty teapot and a Bodum mug
infuser but im wondering what you all use.

I use a porcelain teapot and a glass mug with glass infuser with equal
abandon

Sadly, Jener no longer makes these things. I sort of liked them, although
they always left a lot of leaves behind if you used a finely-cut tea.

For the most part, I use a Chatsworth pot, or the one-cup Chatsworth
infuser. They are inexpensive and convenient.

I usually use a reusable swiss gold filter and brew in an electric
kettle. I also have one of those brewing things that drops the tea out
the bottom for smaller amounts, and have a janaer glass cup, but don't
use it often since the filter isn't very fine.

Forgot to mention that i have a yixing that i brew pu-erh in. And i
just placed an order the other day for a new yixing and a clear glass
gaiwan from Imperial tea court and a zisha gaiwan from Generation tea.
As soon as i build my tea fund back up i plan on getting another yixing
and zisha gaiwan (new yixing for cooked puerh and the gaiwan for
oolong(maybe)) I was wondering if anybody knew of a place where i could
get a 6 oz. white gaiwan for under $20?

For these kinds of teas, I use an Arthur Wood white ceramic pot, approx. 16
oz. (473 ml), though I never steep more than 12 oz. in it.

I've played a little with using my gaiwans and/or cebeis for at least the
Chinese black/reds, but not sure how much I like it yet, or whether it's
worth the extra trouble.

1. Nice, wide, white porcelain mug. (wide enough to fit the teaball in.)
2. Big ass tea ball from asian market.

I might buy one of those white porcelain teapots from the asian store
sometime.....but I want to find a big one (16-24oz). Meanwhile, this works
fine.

I brew in a porcelain or corningware mug, usually the porcelain mug
that says "Grandma." I have a mug infuser that started clear plastic
but is now brown. I simmer or boil the water in a stainless steel open
pan. Toci

I haven't had experience with this teapot but I have purchased tea,
canisters,cd's from Imperial Tea Court and I have been satisfied with
everything purchased from them.
They give good customer service and shipping is quick-

I always use Chinese clay pots. I have some different sizes
at home and one at work. And I have also given several as
presents to friends, togeteher with some fine Oolong.
As infusers I use German made cotton tea filters.

In cup; Darjeeling Oolong.

I brew in the cup with a Bodum mug infuser. With lots and lots of
leaves!

It's a *very* common style, quite functional, and usually pours well.
My advice: bypass Imperial Tea Court and buy one from Jing Tea Shop.
Sebastien and Jing will discuss the clays with you, and various choices in
far more detail than Roy of ITC will. That's my opinion.

"BTW, say hi to Josh.

Michael - which Josh should I be saying hi to?

"I know a fellow named Josh who owns a company
called J-Tea. I thought you were associated. Don't
assume. Lesson learned, yet again.
Michael"

No problem Michael. I actually do know a couple of "Josh's" so your
request threw me.

Best,

Linda
