Excellent! Perfect for Solo Brewing!
I've been using this teapot for about 6 months now and have used it more than any other teapot on account of it actually being small enough for daily solo drinking!
It's not hard to come across a small gaiwan, but for whatever reason tiny/solo-able Yixing teapots seem harder to find (which is a shame since I find that some of my favorite teas like black/aged-sheng benefit from the higher heat retention compared to my gaiwan, which I like to reserve mostly for young-sheng and greens).
After comparing multiple teas in this teapot vs a Zini I own, I also find that the description about the clay itself holds true: that the Zhuni clay will better "preserve the full spectrum of flavour" compared to the muting effects of a Zini.
Love this elegant tiny ShuiPing! Even debating with myself if I should just bite the bullet and get a second one on account of how hard it is to find <100ml Yixing teapots... If only smaller zhuni teapots were more readily available in the west! *hint-hint M&L!* :)
