As a potter, can I correct you on one point, ceramics fired to stoneware temperature is not porous. At stoneware temperature it becomes stone, it can not absorb liquids. It is vitrified. The wood fired pot is a high fired stoneware, the temperature ,wood ash and ash glaze has sealed the pot, it is not porous.

At first I thought it was one of those camera tricks where one guy is playing two people.

This came out great! Thank you so much for having me on the channel and testing out what will become the Between the cracks podcast! I cant wait to see whats next and hope to do something again! Maybe atop a mountain next!!

Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this! I'm pretty deep in the tea game, but I have plenty of "Griffins" in my life, so it was nice to see your approach to the whole thing!

Thank you! It was fun to hang with Griffin and talk through some of the many factors. 🤓

How deep in the tea game? I guess you could say "steep".

This was so fun to watch as a new traditional tea enjoyer!

I couldn’t tell the cheapest one, but I knew the most expensive one bc you handled it like it was worth $1000.

I love seeing the intensity and passion for a niche subject! So much information.

@11:50 for the guess + rating

Thanks for this informative video. The "pour cup" is not meant only for stopping the steep but it's also a "fair cup", right?

Yeah the literal translation is fairness cup which can refer to an even steep or everyone being served the same tea regardless of class or social status.

Is there a kind of pot you’d recommend for green tea? Another question: if I’m trying to get into sheng but struggling a little, is there a kind of pot or gaiwan that would bring out the best in sheng puerh?

@TaoTeaware

I would stick to a gaiwan for green teas. If they’re finer Japanese greens than a shiboradashi or a Japanese teapot with a finer filter pattern would be better. If you’re struggling with the astringency, Yixing pots have the best softening typically but can be pretty expensive.

This is so funny from people that don’t know ANYTHING about ceramics or making teapots.. cracking me up…

This is an older video now but I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get the cheap teapot?

We’ll actually have a few more cheaper teapots going up on the website by the end of the week. 😊

Can you please drop the name of the American potter who made the mid tier

Who makes that 4th pot you introduce at 18 minutes?

Another reason why the expensive teapot is most expensive, other than the zisha mineral, is because of the traditional way of making it. There is art to it, the same way they were making it hundreds of years ago. It's kinda funny I could tell which one is the most expensive one from his subtle reaction when Griffin dropped the lid, @0:56. Dart's heart dropped too that he forgot to take a sip.

WOAH! That $200 pot really pours poorly. If it was in the thrift store for more than $5 I would not buy it. If I saw it's pour I would not accept it if it was free.

Hard to watch with this 0 skills in the tea making....

brew a lot of tea at the same time is not recommended, because the brewed tea will sit there and start oxidating if you dont drink fast enough and that affect the taste.

@@mahpgnaohhnim It takes about 24 hours to oxidize and 30 minutes to an hour isn't a long enough time. To experience the benefits you need a pint or two, and without you're not a true tea drinker. You're just a posing floof.
