Good evening Alexargon
I have made several purchases at this Ebay Shop:
The link will lead you to the smallest YiXing Teapot in his selection, ranging from 40 ml to 1400 ml
Teapots.
I have made quite a number of purchases with this Company and have found the proprietor to
be knowledgeable and trustworthy. The quality of his teatoys is quite good and his pricing very reasonable.
The superstition, rumor and pseudoscience found in many Teablogs and Forums with regard to YiXing is quite exaggerated and should be regarded with a critical eye. The quality, age, type of clay etc. will certainly influence the quality of your tea. Realistically seen however, it will not do so to significantly disturb you tea experience unless you have many years of experience, eucation and a very refined palate. Just think of all the wine ‘experts’ among your friends, importantly showing off their ‘knowledge’.
Teaguardian is highly commendable in this respect for providing scientific and realistic information
and trashing the current fashion of ‘Tea Shamanism’.
My recommendation: Buy the pots you like and are fitted to your current research, do the same with
your tea and enjoy your disoveries.
