Need help choosing new clay pot
Thank you for all the advice and recommendations. I bought the Crimson Lotus polished black150ml. :)
This is my new love:
The eablers encouraged me to get the one that I loved. You at least return the favor.
It’s awesome Kiwi you should get it. :))
100ml.
Ugh. UGGGGHHHHHHHH.
I even have a shopping cart all made up D: But my wallet’s in another room.
I just received an email saying that my order has shipped…. Shipping within 24 hours on a weekend is a beautiful thing. Lol just saying their service is good….. :))
Wow. That’s lovely.
And PayPal is the bane of my #teawareacquiringdisorder If I don’t have to move my a**, there is a much higher likelihood of a purchase. :)
Kiwi the pot is adorable…all I can say is that I’ve placed 3 orders so far with CL on I am beyond happy with EVERYTHING I got :-)
Dexter, yea Glen ships as quick as lightning! Reminds me of Garret :-)
Hello, friends. I was going to make my CLT order in October. But I got the pot just now!!!!!! I was worrying it would disappear before then.
I also ordered 2 Planet Jingmai and samples of Bulang Gushu “Ancient Tree”, Spring 2015 Bai Ying Shan “Whispering Sunshine”, and Spring 2015 Jingmai “Midas Touch.”
Hello, Christmas present (again). And I still have so many teas to sipdown. Luckily, pu can withstand time easily.
I based my selection on the ratings and everybody’s notes. Can’t go wrong with that unless it’s strictly a personal thing. I’m having hopes for the shou, especially.
Dex…bought the speckled pot. Thanks to enablers
:) I just couldn’t hold off. So I’m right there with you lady! If I make no more purchases until October….then i’m good :)
That’s awesome!!!!! I’m with you in desperately needing to stop. I keep saying no more tea until cupboard is under control…..then a sale happens, or someone recommends something, and somehow orders get placed.
I’m sure you will enjoy your new pots, and whatever else landed in your cart. :))
Haha…thanks Dex!! Yeah…ordered tea..
@Ubacat….I’m gonna be paying for these purchases for the next 2 months. Definitely a splurge month!!!
Sorry people for enabling. I’m pretty sure you will love your new pots. Teas are hit or miss just because we have diff tastebuds. Can’t wait to see them working hard ; D
@boychik…why u aplogizing? Your advice helped me decide what 2 do!! I was gonna order it anyway! I just ordered it sooner! Your advice is ALWAYS welcome! :)
Whew, I was kinda worried. It is a big splurge. Now hold on till October. What’s in October ?
Hah! Have no idea what’s in October. Just random month I chose to be able to shop again :))
Update: It came yesterday! I’m…too impressed for words.
I can’t stop turning around the lid. So smooth. (clink clink)
As requested!

In comparison the only other yixing I have, this one’s clay is so unbelievably smooth.
its gorgeous pot! congrats! last pic is awesome. have you decided on a tea? this pot is great as sheng pot. its not easy to find good tiny fast pouring pot for sheng. You may not be sheng person today but it will change. I promise ;)
Forever on the shou side!!! xD I will be using it for sheng, though. That’s why I got only one shou sample and four sheng samples. Very few sheng is for me but I’m determined to find those few for this pot!
Since I’m not seasoning it: How do I get rid of particles from the pot? By rinsing with boiling water a couple times?
yes. its pretty clean compare to yixing, not sandy. fill it with boil water, let sit for some time, and rinse again couple times with boil water.
Love it! It’s like a sibling to my pot. I have that one in red clay and use it for sheng. Enjoy!
Thanks, boychik! Unfortunately I’m waiting for colder weather. I can’t drink pu in the summer xP
These pots are like a giant family, Tealizzy :D I feel like I’ve picked up on something truly special.
