Hello!
I decided to buy a new teapot (well... my previous teapot decided for
me, breaking into pieces...) and I was wondering if you could recommend
me some internet shop selling teapots of high quality.
All I need is:
1.To have an infusing mechanism like most of Yixing teapots (not basket
but a kind of netting just near the spout, inside - in the way that tea
can brew in the whole inner space of the teapot - I hope you know what I
mean?)
2.To be used for brewing all the types of tea. I will use it not at
home, therefore I cannot take three teapots. Just one for all.
(therefore probably yixing is not a good choice... unless I do not know
something)
Thank you for any advice, suggestions, names of shops!
Sincerely,
Milo
Milo,
A friend of mine asked the same thing of me recently (also wanted it
to be inexpensive). After looking for a few weeks I recommended the
Kokoro teapot at Den's tea. It is made for sencha (Japanese tea) so
it has a fine screen lining. The tea can brew in the whole pot and it
has a ceramic finish so it can be used for any type of tea. The
stated capacity is 11 oz. It seems to be the right size for one
normal tea/coffee mug. It is about $20. The link is

At work I use something similar and use it for Japanese teas, Chinese
teas, black teas, oolongs including open leaf types. I think it is
the most convenient type of teapot if you plan to brew different types
of tea. Let me know if you find something else interesting.
