Dear Sirs and Madams;
I am sorry if this is an oft repeated question. I would like to buy a nice Yixing tea pot or two for oolong and puerh teas. I have heard that zisha clay is best, and that zisha is purple.
So I search the web and find a pot that I like, here is it's description and url: Sand Teapot: This large teapot features a classic shape and is made of sand-colored zisha. Its reasonable price and generous capacity account for its popularity.
Since I am so new at this I expected this pot to be purplish. It is not. Is this an okay teapot of reasonable Yixing zisha quality? My inquiring mind wants to know!
If anybody cares to share their wisdom and opinions on this subject I would be grateful. I enjoyed tea in my youth, switched to coffee in my college days and now find that I can no longer tolerate coffee. I have just starting buying some nice green teas and enjoy them immensely. If anybody knows of a good source of fine teas in the Boston area, I would like to know about that, too!
Sincerely,
Heather
