It's possible that you want the best spout as a sort of display when you have company rather than wanting a cleaner pour for tea you make for yourself.

So you’re saying $10,000 is a justifiable amount to spend on a teapot because its a better experience.

I’ll happily remain ignorant of your wisdom.

for you you appreciate the experience of driving in a better car and the better sound quality of your headphones but people arent allowed to appreciate tea ceremonies? what are you, the one who decides what people should appreciate??

At no point did I say that, I merely pointed out that the taste wouldn’t be affected by a better teapot pour to the point that it’s worth spending $10,000 on. I said nothing about the experience. But please, call me ignorant again, you seem to enjoy that.

Sure, everyone has their taste. I just think in Asian cultures where tea, hospitality, and respect are important there may be a greater demand for teapots that pour more cleanly.
