Upgrading teaware - could you please share your opinion
Hello, I have narrowed my gaiwan search to two - a porcelain 360 easy gaiwan for $42
and this Dehua porcelain set from verdant tea. My two questions are is the 360 gaiwan a gimmick (i know other easy gaiwans all have their own flaws - too thick, too much heat retention, leaves clogging small amount of holes) or does it seem like it could function well? My second question is that verdant tea set more costly due to US based retailer as i have found almost similar Dehua porcelain strainer/set at Sanwu, a China based site. Have a fresh set of oolongs picked out from Floating Leaves and a new electric kettle as well. This is the last piece. Any and all help is appreciated!
