I’m very sorry to hear that. Hopefully this information will help since it is science-based:

Re: How do you consistently get Hui Gan?
I’ve only had it with wild or feral Taiwanese oolongs. I’ve had a similar sensation with pu but it has been from contact with camphor wood.

Re: Drippy spouts?
Apart from “peeing” the tea out of its spout, which is inline with teatray’s other Freudian teapot I am yet to discover the Freudianness of that other pot :mrgreen: but will look more imaginatively next time I use it. I saw R2-D2 in that one, if it helps. Andrew Does it take batteries? It looks lik...

Re: Drippy spouts?
Nice pear skin Emu Baisao so true about skillful pour. Everytime I look at the light hitting the surface on mine, and touch its texture, I am moved by its artistry and beauty. 🍃 They are stunners. The pour is mesmerizing too. I'm so glad you have one too. Some kyusu are inappropriate for brewing ba...

Re: Drippy spouts?
I bought one and, comparing notes with this thread, I'm starting to think Jinpachi Ogawa teapots are generally poor quality. Or at least, there is a high chance that you get one which is of poor quality. I did not see this thread before my purchase. Maybe it would have dissuaded me from getting one...

Re: Electric Kettles
Has anyone used the kettle sold here? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Beautiful-1-7L-One-Touch-Electric-Kettle-White-Icing-by-Drew-Barrymore/587407613 I found it intriguing that it has settings for different types of tea and it looks aesthetically appealing. I haven’t used it but a couple of possible is...

Re: Chaozhou/Shantou
Baisao and Bok Have you figured out the red coating on the outside of some chaozhou pots? It reminds me of zini coated hongni yixing wares. Guess the popularity of red over orange/brown might have something to do with it, but then there is also brown coated Shantou, so... remains a murky affair. Hi...

Re: Facebook vendor: Chemical Free Purple Clay Exchange
I don't think it is so much about pots in general needing to pour fast and clean to make good tea, particularly high quality teas. Many dedicated tea friends can ultimately work with the quirks and charms of older pots to make most teas work, and work well, enjoying this process. But if I buy a mod...

Re: Facebook vendor: Chemical Free Purple Clay Exchange
@teatray, I don’t see anything wrong with that pour from LeoFox’s copy. I’d be interested in seeing how you pour.LeoFox wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 11:05 amVideo here - note it is 140 mlShine Magical wrote: ↑Fri Apr 21, 2023 9:51 amIs it considered rude to ask to see a video of the water pouring from the teapot

Re: Yixing
I'm interested in amplifying the fruity and chocolate notes in hongcha. Is there a clay that can do this? Those are two different tasting notes... two different pots needed? What clays are often paired with hongcha and why? I don’t recall ever having chocolate notes in hongcha but definitely berrie...
