First-buy questions people still ask
Use these last answers to remove hesitation before asking the shopper to click into a product page.
How much should a first Yixing teapot really cost?
Start with use and size first. A first pot does not need to be the most expensive piece in order to be the right one to learn on.
Do I need something collectible for a first purchase?
No. A practical teapot that matches your brewing habit is usually a better first buy than something you mainly admire but do not naturally keep using.
What size is the safest place to start?
A mid-small range is usually the easiest to live with. It covers everyday gongfu use without making the first purchase feel too narrow or too oversized.
