Know before you buy
Zisha Zhu Ni clay is highly porous and known for its ability to absorb the essential oils and aromas of tea over time. This process 'seasons' the pot, which can soften the flavor profile and enhance the sweetness of your brew with every subsequent use.
Because the clay is unglazed and porous, you should never use soap or detergents, as they will be absorbed by the pot. Simply rinse the teapot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off.
This teapot is designed for Gongfu-style brewing, which typically serves one to two people. Its small size is intentional, allowing for multiple short infusions that highlight the nuances of high-quality loose-leaf tea.
Yes, the teapot features a built-in permanent mesh filter at the base of the spout. It is designed to catch most standard-sized loose-leaf teas, ensuring a clean pour without the need for an external strainer.
It is generally recommended to dedicate one Yixing teapot to a single type of tea, such as Oolong or Pu-erh. Because the clay is porous, it will retain the character of the tea you brew, and switching varieties may cause the flavors to overlap.
