Know before you buy
Yixing Jiangpo clay is porous and unglazed, which allows the teapot to absorb the essential oils and flavors of the tea over time. This seasoning process helps to mellow out the profile of your brews, making it particularly well-suited for Pu-erh, Oolong, and aged teas.
No, this teapot does not feature a built-in filter. It is designed for traditional Gongfu brewing, where the leaves are typically strained through a separate tea strainer or allowed to settle in the pot.
Simply rinse the teapot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry thoroughly. Avoid using dish soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb the chemicals and permanently alter the taste of your future brews.
The 110 ml capacity is designed for individual use or intimate sessions for two. It is perfectly sized for Gongfu-style brewing, where small, frequent infusions are served in small cups.
No, this teapot is not compatible with stovetops, microwaves, or induction cookers. It should only be used for steeping tea with hot water poured from a separate kettle.
Semi-handmade means the main body of the teapot is formed using a mold for consistency, while the spout, handle, lid, and decorative details are hand-applied and finished by an artisan. This process ensures both structural integrity and the unique character of handcrafted work.
