I'm glad you're all interested in steel brewing etc., perhaps some hypothetical heat curves?

Thank you debunix, very nice.

Allow me to humbly disagree with you. Still I would like to hear from the OP and perhaps OCTO before proceeding.

Thank you for commenting, I will try a Frieling 34 oz. Stainless pot with basket. This is about the volume of a thermos, so I hope it works well both travel and home brewing.

I'm somewhat disappointed that the question hasn't been taken seriously.

The OP may have been insincere but gave no hint of it.

Here is what he said: "So, I am asking you to give me a straight & simple answer to the question: What is the meaning of life?"

Here I found a little guide: https://redblossomtea.com/blogs/red-blo ... e-leaf-tea

Do you see any advantages of a porcelain pot over a steel one?

I've used cast iron cookware with very favorable results. Cast iron is durable, heats evenly, requires little cleaning, is versatile, beautiful, rings nicely, etc. Overall a little trickier but much better than steel, tephlon, copper, or aluminum in my opinion. So I am not surprised that some mercha...

Well we know what Bok thinks.

Ethan Kurland are you satisfied by these answers? Octo?

Thank you debunix and pedant, that is helpful. It seems that I am now beginning to get a better picture of how you all like to brew tea. I might be so bold as to say that it seems the members of this forum for one reason or another tend to favor Eastern brewing methods. It appears that these methods...

Thank you pedant, in those Eastern teapots, how do they filter the leaves out? External strainer? Basket?

So as far as Western methods go, I think I understand those generally. As far as Eastern methods go, those seem to be a bit more diverse. Pardon my ignorance, but the most popular appears to be the one using a gaiwan to steep. However I've read about another that steeps in a bowl which is drunk with...

Thank you, so in other words, the cast iron "teapots" I'm seeing sold are really only kettles "tetsubin" which have been enameled to prevent rust and to which have been added a strainer basket. These can no longer be used as a kettle, and make poor teapots because they rob heat and impart iron to th...

YSLondon why a cast iron tetsubin instead of a steel kettle?

Ethan Kurland thank you for creating this thread, and thank you admin for allowing it. I hope this discussion might prove to be constructive and profitable for those involved. "what's the meaning of life?" as originally posed by Bok the tea vendor on Friday, April 16, 2021. The meaning of life is to...
