Know before you buy
Zini clay is a highly porous Yixing clay known for its ability to absorb the oils and aromas of tea over time. This process, often called 'seasoning,' can enhance the flavor profile of your tea with repeated use.
With a 150 ml capacity, this teapot is designed for gongfu-style brewing, which is ideal for one to two people. It is perfectly sized for multiple short infusions rather than serving a large group.
No, the multi-hole spout acts as a built-in filter, effectively catching tea leaves as you pour. It is designed to provide a smooth, controlled flow without the need for additional accessories.
This teapot is versatile enough for most varieties, including green, white, black, raw puerh, and oolong teas. Because Zini clay retains heat well, it is particularly effective for teas that benefit from consistent brewing temperatures.
Simply rinse the teapot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry thoroughly without the lid. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb these chemicals and alter the taste of your future brews.
