We've done another baking during the month of October and Novermber 2019.

We have used 5 oz glass teapot to run a harmonized infusion -
3g / 210F / 4'30" and enjoy the agony of this Amber Beauty.
For the Gongfu tea ceremony - use the Yixing teapot to fill 1/4 of the pot to infuse with rolling boiled water and steep for 1'15" and can do more than 8 infusions with good timing control.
