Hello Brett,

Cool blog you have here. I also own an identical teapot to your Xiao Xiao - minus the thread connecting the lid to the teapot(although I am not sure mine has the same super powers as yours ;)).

I bought mine at the Ten Ren store in chicago's Chinatown. I like its small size. When I first saw it, I knew I had found a pot for cooked puerh. It has served in that role admirably =D! I am still looking for a small one for raw puerh.

Best of luck navigating the French tea blogosphere! I speak the language of Voltaire fluently, if you ever need help figuring out what is going on, drop me a line.

Have a good tea day,

Alex
