noob Pu-erh set?

[expatCanuck]

Grabbed the brick and a little tea cup, and I'm getting this yixing pot off of ebay

it's going to be $13 shipped and it's a little over 8oz

8oz is a bit big for pu-erh, but no matter. Just fill it half full -- that's what I do with mine.

is it possible to prepare this tea correctly in this http://www.adagio.com/teaware/ingenuiTEA_teapot.html?SID=0bbc50adbb4090ed849dd018fceb1979 ? are there any websites/books I could easily get my hands on to learn about it? I'm still not entirely sure how this aging process works, it's safe? the wiki article said sometimes it can get moldy or contain foreign objects.

Hi -
I use a similar steeping vessel all the time at work for my Pu-erh.
If you are interested in some below-market prices on some quality Pu-erh, see my threads listed in my signature line.

Enjoy!
