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. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

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.

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- Joanne |

"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 |
