I thought I would try the teapot (semi handmade) for a month or so before writing this review. Seasoned the pot as per instructions. Brewed Phoenix Dancong tea (凤凰单枞)and could tell the difference in using the teapot as opposed to using porcelain /glass Gaiwan. Important thing is the zisha material used. Tea brewed from teapot tasted softer in notes. Last but not least, I must thank customer service for the excellent follow-up service. The tracked shipment was quick and the items were properly bubble wrapped.
