Yixing Teapots

I received these Yixing teapots a couple of months ago and have been having fun testing them out.




西施壺 XiShiHu 160ml
I tried out different kinds of Roasted Oolongs in this pot and other pots. I am really impressed how well a Roasted Oolong tastes in this pot.





高潘壺 GaoPanHu 100ml
This pot works well for aged Green Puers.





高虛扁壺 GaoXuBianHu 90ml
A great little pot for Green Oolongs.




南瓜壺 NanGuaHu 150ml
I like how a Cooked Puer tastes in this pot.




石瓢壺 ShiPiaoHu 110ml
Green Puers work well in this pot.

It's very interesting how the shape of the pot influences the tea!

To Steph,

Indeed! I had a lot of fun trying to figure out what tea fits in each pot.
