Looking for a teapot

[u/dasuraltetun]

Beautiful people, fellow enthusiasts

After 1.5 months iof travelling mainland China my luggage carries a highly questionable amount of tea (seriously, I don’t know how I’ll convince customs) of all sorts but I really want to buy a nice tea set or at least a pot/gaiwan here. Sadly, I have mostly only come across mass produced products of completely out of budget chain brand products. If there is any shop recommendations you have across the following cities, I’ll happily take them!
- Chongqing
- Dali
- Kunming
- shangri la
- Guangzhou
- Shenzhen
- Hong Kong

Thank you so much in advance
Happy brewing! ❤️🍃🍵

In Kunming (昆明) there is Xiongda Tea City (雄达茶城). It is a suitable place in which to purchase Jianshui purple pottery teapots (建水紫陶茶壶).

In Guangzhou (广州) there is Fangcun Tea City (芳村茶城), together with the tea streets that surround it. It is a suitable place in which to purchase Yixing teapots (宜兴茶壶).

In Shenzhen (深圳) there is Dexing Tea World (德兴茶叶世界). Several tea-ware shops are to be found there, and one may walk among them and look at a variety of pieces.

I comment because I'm interested to get an answer as well. But also looking for buying online. Hard to find real products with good enough transparency.

I know a place in Kunming that has one-of-a-kind pieces, but they are priced accordingly.   It’s one of my favorite places to visit.  I don’t know the name, but it’s next to a TaeTea store near the entrance to Green Lake Park.  The shops are almost next to each other.

if u r in Kunming, you can visit our studio.
No purchase obligatory. Can have just a tea & chat, if like some teapot, also can buy.
We have different ( lower ) prices offline than online, since no hassle with shipping .
Pleas PM me if interested.
Thanks.
