Porous/absorbing clays and high roasted teas

[Bok]

So you have found best pairing is with low fired High Mountain? I haven’t received mine yet so can’t compare.

Yes, all my high mountain go either into Duanni or Kobiwako. Hokujo was my favourite for those before I tried Kobiwako. I like Hokujo for greener processed Dancong.

@steanze is on point. I am in complete agreement.

The only thing I use zini for is shou. I prefer everything else in less muting clays or porcelain.

I do use zini for aged sheng - but sometimes I also use zhuni or porcelain it depends a bit on the tea and on what I want that day
