She then founded her teahouse “Shui Tang’ to forma home base for her educational activities furthering tea in Europe and to provide a meetingpoint for Tea People lost in our continent.If you speak german and are interested in meeting a truly original thinker, check out her blog atGood 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 mlTeapots.I have made quite a number of purchases with this Company and have found the proprietor tobe 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 informationand trashing the current fashion of ‘Tea Shamanism’.My recommendation: Buy the pots you like and are fitted to your current research, do the same withyour tea and enjoy your disoveries.Patrick B.
