After experimentally brewing with this teapot for a year I have decided to dedicate it towards steeping age traditionally (HK) stored puerh tea and on occasion shou/black puerh. The dense clay and thick wall of the teapot retains heat exceptionally well and imparts a softness and depth to the brew that is suitable for the darker characteristics of puerh tea.
Note: The pictures were taken after a brewing session and as a result there are visible wet areas.
