Know before you buy
Jiangpo clay is a unique, granular Yixing clay known for its porous nature. Over time, the clay absorbs the oils and aromas of the tea brewed within it, which can enhance the flavor profile of your future infusions.
This teapot is designed for traditional Gongfu brewing, where the leaves are typically kept in the pot while the tea is poured out. If you find leaves escaping, you can use a separate fine-mesh tea strainer placed over your serving pitcher or cup.
Simply rinse the teapot with hot water immediately after use and let it air dry thoroughly with the lid off. Never use soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb the chemicals and permanently ruin the flavor of your tea.
Because Yixing clay is porous, it is best to dedicate this teapot to one specific category of tea, such as Pu-erh, Oolong, or black tea. Using it for many different types of tea can cause the flavors to clash as the clay seasons.
No, this teapot is not stovetop, microwave, or induction safe. It is intended strictly for brewing tea using hot water poured from a separate kettle.
The body of the teapot is created using a mold for consistency, while the spout and handle are hand-shaped and attached by an artisan. This method provides the precision of a molded form with the distinct character and craftsmanship of a handmade piece.
