If I have to choose only one teapot for general use, 50ml might be too small. However, it’s very handy when I need a quick gongfu session. Since the whole session usually doesn’t take very long, I find it easy to be fully concentrated on brewing and tasting.
A 50ml Chaozhou had been my only Yancha teapot for years. With fully stuffed teapot and boiling hot water, sipping one small cup after another of concentrated Yancha in rapid succession is a unique tea drinking experience. I’m not sure if I can handle it if the pot is any larger. I just allowed myself less concentrated Yancha in larger teapots recently to see the tea in different angles.
