I was gifted a yixing teapot from a coworker (he was getting married his fiancée is from yixing and mother in law was flying in and was already bringing some over she ended up bringing 6 teapots I got one). Now I'm looking for tools. It seems like a cleaning brush and a wood scoop to clean out old leaves at the minimum. But what would you all suggest and from where?

Sine note china's authenticy paperwork is really pretty cool.

Right now theres two lawsuits against the departmsnt of education over the student loan changes one by nurses one by physician assistant . We need to get on board with this because these new loan guidelines are going to decimate the field if not.

Edit: a word

I typically do 2g to 50ml which I get is a little light but I'm poor gotta make my leaves stretch. it allows me to have multiple steeps in one session since I'm the only one drinking.

Whats your ratio when drinking alone? How many steeps do you get? Do you save your leaves?

Given that the dye splits the further it travels I'm curious about layering the dye. A tiny bit of dui then some ice a little bit of dye some ice a little dye then ice then the rest of the planned dye. I feel like it could make some interesting saturation gradients as you'd have varying levels of splits. Has anyone done this? What were the results?
