I agree! As frequently happens, we find more common ground as we open the discussion. I fret that too many of us have dogmatic beliefs that are not borne out by experience and experimentation, yet we hold on to the detriment of ourselves and others. I am glad to be in your good company.
Agree and likewise, it is a pleasure to exchange thoughts on tea with you.

I'll give yancha with zini a try soon and will keep an open mind. Tea is a dead thing without experimentation. The zini teapot I'll try it with will provide a good comparison to the hongni pot since it is he same shape, size, manufacturer, and era. Both were reset this month and are essentially new at this point.
Always good to experiment. I did some tries with 70s F1 hongni vs qsn shuipings.

I am almost filled to the brim with dry leaf at 6-7 gr per 120ml. Are you crushing your yancha in the center to get that many grams in?
A little ;)

So there is such a thing as Osmanthus flower clay! Or at least one other person calls it as such :) Cheers for that!
