You will notice the proportions first — everything else follows from them. The ball filter is one of those features you appreciate more the longer you own the piece. Look for the red dahongpao clay — it gives this piece its personality. The 180cc size makes it a natural fit for solo gongfu sessions.

The clay is purple clay, the Yixing standard prized for its balanced, forgiving character. A seasoned pot pours a noticeably smoother cup than a new one, which makes daily brewing just a little easier. Base sits flat and steady on any tea table. Lid fits tightly enough to keep aroma in the pot, which makes daily brewing just a little easier. In practice, with regular use the surface takes on a soft sheen no polish can fake. It turns out it packs easily for travel; small pots are the sturdiest travelers.

Buy it for the brewing; keep it for the way it ages. The clay will remember your favorite tea long after you finish the bag. Your future self, mid-gongfu-session, will approve of this choice. A pot like this turns a habit into a ritual.
