Thanks for your advice Ethan! Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I have been crazily busy with work recently... Tokoname pots like this one are made for Japanese greens, this pot works great with sencha. It would work with Chinese greens too, the rest is up for experimentation. This kind of clay is relatively porous so I think it would work well with aged pu-erh and shu, but I haven't tried that.

Here's one more pic from a sencha session:


I will add a generous sample of 1980s sheng pu-erh with the pot

$105+shipping and comes with a 1980s sheng sample worth ~$8! At this price it is a great deal, it's a nice pot to experience differences in clay and construction in Tokoname in the past 40 years.
