I think the Ben San lu ni one is half hand made. Many of the zhuni are full hand.
These featured on ig are also full hand -

130 ml. It's working really well with aged tea. I don't use a lot - like 3g, and rinse and then go about half a minute. I feel with gaiwan, would need 60s for similar potency. Pot seems to hold heat really well and draws out the substance nicely
Interesting; if it's the same clay and maker as the pot that I got from TWL, then it's a good illustration of how there's no 'perfect' match between tea and clay. I tried mine with old puer, but I much preferred using it for unroasted high mountain tea (which it's drinking right now).
I'd rephrase it: a perfect personal match between tea and clay. My preference is the same as yours, high mountain and other greens for (most)Duanni/Lüni clays.
Hahaha different folks, different strokes. Honestly, I feel this pot should work with lots of teas. Enjoying it now with some 70s dong ding

It goes without saying that the level of customer service you received surpasses what you would receive from the domestic reseller.
That seam is well done. I have to say the luni looks beautiful.LeoFox wrote: ↑Thu Mar 09, 2023 9:01 amThe seam is along the side of the handleBaisao wrote: ↑Tue Mar 07, 2023 7:58 pmThe craftsmanship is a lot better than I’d have imagined at that price point.

Message them on FB or Instagram. I got an auto-reply in Chinese but they got in touch in English soon after. They do not have int'l payment & shipping figured out yet, but are working on it.
