Hi!

I’m from Croatia, a Slavic country and tea drinkingi s the way you described: frome the camelia sinensis family it (was) exclusively black or ‘russian’ tea with honey/sugar and lemon. Tisanes like chamomile, mint, hibiscus, nettle, thyme, etc are considered proper tea here. Each is knows to have medicinal value and people start drinking them as babies.
In coffee houses they normally serve tea with lemon and sugar, you have to request honey.

I like that teapot with the horse lying down and the monkey crawling up behind him. That's very clever. I haven't seen one like that on sale here in America. I might have wanted to buy it. --Teaternity

Hi Daniel,
Excellent information, thanks. Two questions:
1. How do a buyer make sure that the yixing teapot doesn’t drip when pouring? (I bought a nice $50 yixing teapot in a ceramics store in Taiwan, and was very disappointed to discover that it drips when we pour the tea).
2. What characterizes a Yixing Zisha instead of just a yixing teapot?
Thanks for educating us so well, Daniel. I am looking forward to reading more.
Kirsten

Hi Paula, it’s all about the fermerntation. The same as you brew it in glass pot. When you brew green tea you can’t use too hot water and can’t cover the lid. If you put green tea in high teapot with narrow mouth it will be braised.
