Yixing can absorb oils and other substances from tea, so it can improve the taste of tea.<BR/><BR/>Here are some videos of using/cleaning of yixing <A HREF="http://ancientteahorseroad.blogspot.com/2007/02/gongfu-brewing-method.html" REL="nofollow">http://Tuo Cha Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948259434826911982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27506679.post-86562267062071316272007-05-06T23:06:00.000-07:002007-05-06T23:06:00.000-07:00HiI was wondering if you can do a post on Yixing t...Hi<BR/><BR/>I was wondering if you can do a post on Yixing teapot.
