Re: FS- Several Yixing Teapots
Pot 5 - $60 172ml Pigeon Beak zini. Likely a non-Factory 90's repro, but great clay and med-high firing. Good lid fit. 14-hole filter. Cleaned and prepped. https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1785/43048666302_082de53948_z.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1768/43048667202_e91b88c835_z.jpg https://c1.stat...

Pot 4 - $65 160cc "3 Friends of Winter" Teapot. Nice clay, but not original Factory 1 pot. Probably a repro from the 90's.

Re: FS- Several Yixing Teapots
Pot 2 - $95 65cc Nei Zi Wai Hong (zini coated with hongni). Mid-Late 80's Factory 2. I actually like this pot better than the F1 NZWH pots I have owned because of the great size, 7-hole filter, and it seems to be a bit higher fired than F1. Holds heat very well. Some lid wiggle room, but doesn't dr...

Re: Tong-worthy teas
I have not tonged anything, but I have gotten multiple cakes of the 2003 YS Mengsong Qiao Mu Iron Cake. It's great and great value. That one comes in a paper tong though! I have also considered CLT Daydream because it's good price/quality ratio, and the energy/taste was spot on for me. Edit: JK, I'...

Re: "Oolong Puerh" Processing
Sun drying vs indoor/oven drying must have a considerable effect as well.

Re: Duanni clay - underrated clay?
Pretty pots! I imagine you had side by side comparison with a gaiwan? Interesting :) I have encountered old duanni that wasn't very muting, but it looked a bit different from that one... I would expect that one to be muting, but who knows. It looks heavily used, so it might have to do with that. It...

Re: Duanni clay - underrated clay?
I've had green oolongs made in this very teapot. Can confirm vintage duanni is pretty fantastic and does not have to be very muting.
