You will notice the proportions first — everything else follows from them. The 240cc capacity suits solo gongfu sessions.
Made from duan clay that ages gracefully with daily brewing. The yixing tradition behind this pot stretches back centuries. Walls are thick enough to hold temperature across a long session, which makes daily brewing just a little easier. What I like: lid fits snugly, with no wobble or rattle when you tilt to pour. Daily use is the whole point — this pot was made for it, which makes daily brewing just a little easier. In practice, spout angle is set for a natural wrist motion when pouring. Look closely and it rewards patience: the clay seasons slowly but surely.
Brew, rinse, repeat — the pot takes care of the rest. It is ready for its first steeping — the next hundred are yours to enjoy. The best review is a pot that gets used every day.
