Trying to rustle up some gifts for my family so I stopped by one of the teashops in Causeway Bay and picked out two pots for my folks and another one for me. They all have the same chop which I can't read but I think the left is supposed to be "tea garden" although the chop would have to be damaged for the character to be chah. I like the look of the green clay though it tends to sound dull when tapped. It certainly took on a bit of a darker tinge to the patina after I seasoned them. Good lids too, they will stay on when the pot is full and inverted with the spout covered.
Anyway, it's nice that I can handle and look through a large variety of pots here though I doubt the prices are very reasonable. I plan on keeping the front right one for myself for green pu-ers.
