I like this pot's rustic feel, thicker clay, and mottled color. It is a 9 oz pot with a very fast pour, 6-10 seconds.

Welcome to Another Tea Blog
Ok, I fought it and fought it, but the blog is officialy dead. It saddens me, as tea has given me much pleasure, as has this blog. Unfortunately for now my interests and hobbies have moved on to other things.
Even without updates, many people still find their way to this blog. It is my hope that it will still be a source of information to some. I have dissabled the comment moderation. If you wish to leave a comment, feel free, but I will most likely not respond.
Hopefully this is temporary. Hopefully tea will once agian be the source of pleasure that it was to me. And in the mean time, hopefully it will continue to be a source of pleasure for you.

I love tea but don't know much about the rules and etiquette of tea. Why is pour time relevant for a teapot?
Hello,
That's a good question. The shorter you steep you tea, the more pour time can make a difference.
If you are brewing black tea for example, and you steep it 4-5 minutes, it wont matter much if your pour time is 10 seconds or 30 seconds.
However, in regards to gong fu, if you are steeping tea for 10, 15, or 30 seconds, than pour time is extremely important and must be taken into consideration.
Even with sencha, say fukamushicha, I take pour time into consideration, so that I am careful not to over-steep the tea.
I hope that answers your question.
Sorry if I wasn't clear on this: while you are pouring the tea, the tea is still steeping, so like I said, if you want to steap your tea for 30 seconds, but it takes another 20 seconds to pour the tea, you may end up with over-steeped tea.
When I brew fukamushicha, my second steep is only 30 seconds, but fuka tends to be comprised of tiny particles that can clog the filter and increase the pour time. So I take that into consideration: steep tea for 10 seconds plus 20 second pour time equals 30 second infusion. Perfect. :)
