I love this Shiboridashi
I have small hands but the construction of this vessel makes it easy to use. The rim is constructed such that it doesn't get hot, unlike so many porcelain gaiwans that have burned by fingers! It is a non-porous stoneware. I had read (and now agree) that certain teas such as yan cha are best when not brewed in Yixing. This is ideal for yan cha and also greener oolongs. I am having it now with the "Award Winning Ali Shan Milk Oolong" and they work great together. The "functional" size of the shiboridashi is about 85 to 90 ml, so ideal for a solo tea session.
