Hello everyone, I love tea and every day I prepare several masala chai during the day. The thing is that every time I prepare it, I dirty several pots for the preparation and I was thinking of making a large amount to have throughout the day and thus not having to be dirtying and washing pots continuously. But I am not sure how to do it. I am thinking about making a sufficient amount to have all day and put it in a thermos or a plastic bottle or glass bottle. And then, when I am going to drink it, I just can heat the amount I need. Would you put the bottle in the fridge or leave it outside ..read more

Semi-geezer, spend half year in Asia every year, ambivalent about tea (but drink it daily). Tea-wise, I like to be 'hit in the face with a hammer' by the taste and aroma. Why: I think I'm dependent on caffeine (medical), it wakes me up (practical), I like the taste/aroma (sensual), gives me a sense of being at home when I am travelling (domestic), something to offer visitors (social), 'comfort drink' - grew up drinking tea (psychological) India versus China: Japan Favourite teas: 'Pu'er' (fermented green tea), 'hoji-cha' (roasted green tea), 'mugi-cha' (roasted barley tea); 'genmai-cha' (ro ..read more

More pictures, including the seal. It wasn't sold as Yixing by the way. It's around 150ml, with a hole of 3,5cm diameter. It's made by molds since i can see lines of symmetry in the halfs. Also what kind of tea do you think is good for it? Do you know if it's bad clay (poisonous)? What can we know about the teapot and how to get info? Any other information?
