Know before you buy
Yes, the unglazed Dehua porcelain interior is designed to interact with your tea. It is particularly effective at softening the profile of delicate teas, helping to enhance their natural sweetness and depth over time.
Rinse the pot with hot water immediately after use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off. Avoid using soap, as the porous, unglazed interior can absorb scents and chemicals that may alter the flavor of future brews.
Because the interior is unglazed, it will absorb the oils and aromas of the teas you brew. It is best to dedicate this pot to a single category of tea, such as oolong or green tea, to avoid cross-contamination of flavors.
No, this pot does not feature a built-in filter. It is designed for Gongfu style brewing, where the leaves are typically steeped in a way that allows for a clean pour directly from the spout.
Each Shino Pot is individually wood-fired, meaning the moonscape-like patterns and coloration will vary from piece to piece. You should expect your pot to have a unique finish that differs slightly from the images shown.
No, this pot is not stovetop, microwave, or induction safe. It is intended strictly for steeping tea with hot water poured from a separate kettle.
