Reply To: Gaiwan vs teapot for full bodied tea

Recently I had a chance to brew Honey Orchid in both a gaiwan and a small porcelain teapot of about the same capacity. The result in the first infusion is different ( 3 gram per 100 cc water 1 min ) and I cannot say which is better. But the 2nd and 3rd infusion in which I made 1.5 min and 3 min, the teapot is a clear winner.
