[@Stsilascousteau]

Tea freaks like myself can never get this kind of insight and behind the scenes content...or at least its very seldom. Thanks for sharing! Hope to see more! Very cool.

[@CrimsonLotusTea]

You're welcome. We've got a lot more coming!

[@robyn3349]

[@oceanmew]

Interesting video, nice to see a bit of where teawares actually come from :3

[@bobbyport]

Excellent footage and very interesting. I'd love to visit. Thanks for the tour!

[@charlesperez9976]

That was FASCINATING!! Thank you for sharing your adventures! I am extremely new to the proper tea experience,I literally just seasoned my tiny Yixing pot for Oolong,and it was delicious. Soon to season another for yellow,so exited for that!

[@Crimson8Sun]

Now I want a proper Jianshui pot-I love the texture of the mini pot on the necklace I had purchased from you. How many teapots would typically be fired at once in that small kiln?

[@CrimsonLotusTea]

We have quite a few nice teapots at Phoenix Tea. In a kiln this size probably only a couple hundred.

[@grainmeat]

Great video....very cool. Thank-you. Wondering about how the tea pots are made....are they mostly made using a plaster mold with slip?

[@CrimsonLotusTea]

All the teapots are made by throwing the clay on a wheel. They don't use molds or slip.

[@kapirk2244]

I never thought about how expensive to fire all the clay. I hope they have a lot to fire at one time.

[@ryansimino8533]

Just wanted to ask where I can find a good quality double walled teapot like you showed in the video? Online store or perhaps I'd actually have to go there maybe? Any help is greatly appreciated.

[@CrimsonLotusTea]

They're hard to find. It's hard to make them well. Follow us on Instagram and when we're in Jianshui next PM us and I can find one for you. Or you can email me now and I can message some potters and see what they have. [e-mail]

[@ryansimino8533]

Thank you that would be greatly appreciated.

[@ryansimino8533]

Is there an easier way to message you?

[@CrimsonLotusTea]

@@ryansimino8533 email is probably the best crimsonlotustea @ gmail.

[@ryansimino8533]

If you dont mind me asking what's the usual round about price of one?

[@TempleBunnyForTea]

Saoirse waved and said hello.

[@CrimsonLotusTea]

Lamu, Gemma, and I wave back. Check out next week's video for some fun Gemma closeups.

[@TempleBunnyForTea]

I thought I recognized Gemma's voice in the background!

[@CrimsonLotusTea]

She was quite fussy that day. She's been having a rough go of it this trip. She's been doing better since then though.

[@TempleBunnyForTea]

I think you both are so awesome traveling so far with her. You can do it!!

[@archangelamael]

they called those little trucks one eyed buffalos when I was in Bosnia years ago. not sure where the name comes from though.

[@CrimsonLotusTea]

Weird. Some here have just one headlight. Maybe that's why.

[@katarjin]

Well now I get why some of your pots are so expensive..
