I love the pics of the tea pots, but I'm afraid mine is nothing to look at. I use an electric pot so I can dial in the temp for the green teas.
There's just something cool and earthy about those red clay pots.I've got the pu-erh bug, so most of my teapots are suitable for pu-erh: small, and made of unglazed clay or silver. Even the large one in the picture is too large for sheng pu-erh; it's my dedicated pot for the pre-fermented stuff.

The crude light-brown one dates back to the 60's. I call it my commie teapot.
Great little pot you find at every sidewalk tea shop in China!

A second on a dark tasty Assam.Favorite tea?
Mine used to be Teavana's Earl Gray loose, but I hear they're out of business. I'm getting a bulk organic Earl Gray from Amazon that's not too bad.
My wife is the tea expert, I only really know Earl Gray, but she has some Russian ones I like, and some green teas that are surprisingly good, but I'm just a neophyte.
I was also a major fan of Teavana's Earl Grey, and have been on the hunt for a replacement. The best I've found so far is the Imperial Earl Grey from Silk Road Tea Store in Victoria BC.Favorite tea?

Boil your water in the electric and steep your tea in a nice tea pot!I just love this thread. Unfortunately for many years I am using an electric kettle.
