Know before you buy
Nixing clay is a unique, unglazed ceramic known for its porous structure, which absorbs the oils and aromas of your tea over time. This process helps to season the pot, gradually enhancing the flavor profile of the teas you brew in it.
While it is versatile, this pot is specifically optimized for dark teas like Pu-erh and Oolong. Because the clay retains the character of the tea, it is best to dedicate this pot to one specific type of tea to avoid flavor cross-contamination.
This teapot is designed for traditional Kungfu tea ceremonies, where the leaves are typically kept in the pot while the tea is poured through a strainer or directly into small cups. If you prefer a cleaner pour, we recommend using a separate tea strainer over your serving vessel.
Never use soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb the chemicals and ruin the flavor of future brews. Simply rinse the pot thoroughly with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off.
No, this teapot is not compatible with stovetops, microwaves, or induction cooktops. It is intended for steeping tea with pre-heated water, not for boiling water directly in the vessel.
