Thanks! Great to see his tea will be sold there as well. I hope we can expect the same level of quality to stay:)

Okay, so HauYing Chen just let me know the currency on his web site is Taiwan NT that can be translated to USD at checkout.

Would this pot work for Ripe Puer?
Yes, it works. It is a good choice in terms of shape and clay. The size (120ml) is good too, although the rare times I drink shu I tend to use pots that are a bit larger.

Hey I don't know if this is bad etiquette, but didn't think this question needed a thread on its own. What's the difference between white label and green label. I'm very new to yixing btw.

Thanks. Yes I'd like a 160-180 ml if I could find a decent one. Seems that decent clay is hard to find ;)

EOT has a number of pots in those sizes. Clay is also pretty decent on all of them.

This ones shape is nicer than the other. Clay should be same/similar on both.

Better clay on this one so I'd prob get this instead. It has a wonky knob though.

Yea that's what I was thinking. If I purchase a pot, I need to like it aesthetically as well.

That pot is a good deal. Super wonky knobs and oversized lids that don't sit flat are 2 things I try to avoid when buying pots so I can totally understand why you'd pass on that one.
