Tea Knowledge & Friendship
you are right in relation NZWH is more common, but overall the amount is still large. Also a lot of NWLJ flies under the radar as hongni.
) and the clay is different to the touch in comparison to my confirmed Hongni pots. It's still nice in my opinion. I'll post the photos on Facebook in about 2 hours, and let you know what they say about the age.I use mine for aged oolong because it brings out aged flavor while smithing out roughness of cheap tea. I tried it with young sheng too but it didn’t seem like good match. It’s a pretty drippy pot so functions more like a 120-150ml pot.TeaTotaling wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 8:14 pmThanks! I haven’t committed to this one just yet. I have another red pot I might choose over this one. It is certainly very nice though. I would be curious to hear howChadrinkincat likes it!OCTO wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 7:57 pmTeaTotaling nice pot. Chadrinkincat has the same pot, but i think his is green label if not mistaken.TeaTotaling wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 2:00 pm
This 80’s Duan Niyi, as it’s labeled, seems quite nice. Not exactly antique per se, but a good option I was considering.
Cheers!
but is this teapot really from F1 (80's)? I'm not planning on buying this pot, but it would be interesting to know.looks right to me, make sure to check the pictures carefully though so you're aware of the pot's conditionMark-S wrote: ↑Wed May 20, 2020 1:28 pmI don't know if it's appropriate to ask this, because the seller is a member of this forum...

A bunch of pots starting in the early 80’s use mixed clay like this. The earlier versions look nicer though. https://www.facebook.com/groups/twteapo ... 34?sfns=mo
They are not modern at all, I’ve seen a beautiful specimen of Neiwailinjiang from the late Qing dynasty... it was done so well, the owner did not even realise it for a while.Mark-S wrote: ↑Wed May 20, 2020 12:37 pmBok
I think you are right and this teapot is made of NWLJ. The inside looks coated (I don't think it's still wet
Regarding NZWH and NWLJ... how modern are these practices?
Very useful information, thanks
I have posted the pot on Facebook by the way. The photo of the inside looked weird so I did not use it. (If someone has a tip on how to take a photo of the inside... 
)you need to hold it up next to a window and turn and twist until you find an angle where you can see something. Afterwards it helps to crop out the rest of the image to focus on the essential parts.
With these pictures I am pretty confident it is indeed NWLJ. The shine and you can also see quite a few brushmarks and accumulation of uneven glaze. Style-wise probable somewhere in the green label period, is my guess. Nice enough pot.
Okay, I'll try this the next time. With this little pot it was very hard...
That would be nice. Do you have an idea what tea could be suitable for this extremely small size?
Or for the opposite: very expensive Yancha or Dancong. As it is coated inside, it will be more closer to Hongni than Zini in performance. But then the workmanship is maybe a bit too crude for nicer teas.Chadrinkincat wrote: ↑Wed May 20, 2020 9:31 pmMark-S
40ml is pretty much only useful for CZ style brewing with cheap heavy fire oolong. Use a minimum of 5g or 7-10g for Chinese espresso
I would think if it pours fast enough, those teas would work fine.Bok wrote: ↑Wed May 20, 2020 9:39 pmOr for the opposite: very expensive Yancha or Dancong.
