Hi,
I ran across this thing called zhushuiqi in a book about chinese tea and teamaking. It's a small ceramic water heater. Traditionally it uses coal but nowadays a spirit-burner. Does anyone know where I could acquire one? It is said to be one of the "three treasures of teamaking", and necessary for Gong-Fu brewing. Presonally I just want a nice, cordless tea-kitchen.
Happy to find this group!

Today, for convenience, many people use the electric stove."

I guess "Shantou Wind Stove" and "yushuwei" are the things I am looking for.
