This is a great teapot for one, excellent if like me you drink many different kinds of tea and want to ensure the cup you are drinking isn't tainted with other teas. I've never been a fan of Yixing teapots mostly because of the philosophy that you need one teapot per kind of tea. Anyone who knows their tea will know that many oolongs are vastly different from one another, many puerhs are vastly different. I only use a Yixing for ONE kind of tea, Jing's brilliant 2003 wild yi wu raw puerh. Considering the price of Yixing teapots, and that many people like myself may drink 12 or more varieties in a week or two, this quickly becomes financially infeasible. This great little Glass Gong Fu is perfect, a quick rinse and all the contamination from another tea is gone. It's also better than a Yixing for certain things, for temperamental teas you can guage brew strength easilly as it is indeed clear glass. Anji Bai Cha looks especially beautiful in one of these.
