i'm interested in hearing an explanation from someone who disagrees that fragrance is important

I’ve seen people pour water into a teapot from a high height to allow the water to aerate or that was something along the lines of their reasoning. And that’s the reasoning for having a kettle with a longer spout too.

haha, reminds me of @KyaraZen
POUND the leaf!

regarding junzo's craftsmanship.. i think it's excellent. the pot i have from him has excellent ergonomics. his stuff is made with practicality in mind. nice, wide openings. generous handles. two air holes in the lid. form follows function, and yet nothing looks bad or over-exaggerated. hojo says ju...

There are some flat bottom pots that have a "ring" like that around the base, it was used to strengthen the attachment between the bottom and the sides. in my view it does not mat...

dunno. if you look in the list of articles, it's the one called "5.早期壺入門之二：平底VS溝底 Flat bottom vs ditch bottom"

my untrained eye has trouble judging the curvature from only one perspective (especially directly overhead), but it looks like a flat base (平底) to me. i was just chatting with steanze about this, but he didn't see your most recent pic of the interior. anyways.. flat base was produced mid to late 60s...

yes. refers to the bottom of the interior of the pot and is described in Dr. Lu's "Early tea pots II" fb group. here's a link to the article: https://www.facebook.com/groups/teapot2 ... 194659046/
