picrel is the Fukami

I want to gift someone a teapot. Pic related is my teapot, Hario 450ml Fukami kyusu, has a filter that fills almost the whole pot and will comfortably fit 12g of bold as fuck oolong (and 15g is just snug). Problem is it's discontinued. Any other teapots with big filters?

Order from What-cha or some other good site. Upton's has pretty decent cheaper teas. What-cha's mystery pack is good if you're overwhelmed by choice. I use Den's Tea for houjigenmaicha (roasted tea with toasted brown rice) and Japanese green teas, and Den's has a good newbie sampler. ~$10 per 50g of loose tea isn't too bad. I get 2-3 steeps out of a 10g serving, which comes out to ~$2 per ~1.3L which is a good day's worth of drink.

Wow, this teapot kicks ass. The basket takes up close to the entire volume of the pot, so you can cram enough leaf to cover a wall full of chinks with plenty of room to expand.
