OK ...Tea fans recommend me a tea pot

I started off doing it in a press. It works if you're doing western style brewing with less leaves and longer steep time. It was good enough for normal black tea. I had a real hard time getting whites, greens, and oolongs to turn out good in the press.

Edit - Oh, and DocLogic77 is right about the rinses. There's no good way that you can do teas like pu-erh in the press. And I can say, even though I just discovered pu-erh, you'd be missing out (especially if you're pairing with cigars).
