The verdict
Where this pick fits.
A gaiwan thrown in the purple Zisha clay that made Yixing famous. Unglazed inside, so it seasons over time with whichever tea you dedicate to it. Lid, bowl, saucer — the gongfu cha standard, in the material the gongfu masters argue over.
The gongfu vessel, in the clay the masters argue over. Seasons with one tea. It earned its spot in our lineup by solving the stage it's supposed to solve — without pretending to solve every stage after it.
