;( i would wait and save a little and get a decent one from Yunnan Sourcing. they have pots in $50-60 range. After all you dont want to poison yourself. Its clay pot.

How tight of a budget?

You can get a decent one for $50 off Yunnan Sourcing or you can get a questionable one for like $15 or less on Aliexpress. If you just wanted to play around and see if you like it, I’d go for the latter.

About 35 or 40 dollars. Have you tried any from Aliexpess, Owl?

I have a $7 one from Aliexpress (it’s pretty small, but that’s what I wanted). It does the job but not sure if the material is real and there’s imperfections.

I have one from enjoying tea. It will hold almost 12 ounces. Pretty big by real yixing standards, but I like it. 3 ounces of tea at a time is really not my thing. Nice clay pot and has served me well.
