Know before you buy
The unglazed interior allows the porcelain to interact slightly with the tea, which can enhance the flavor profile over time. Because it is porous, it will absorb the oils of the tea you brew, so it is best to dedicate this pot to one specific type of tea to avoid flavor contamination.
While you can technically brew any tea in it, the unglazed interior is best reserved for delicate teas like green or white tea. Strong, pungent teas will leave lingering aromas that can affect the flavor of future brews.
Simply rinse the pot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry thoroughly with the lid off. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the unglazed porcelain can absorb these chemicals and alter the taste of your tea.
No, each Shino Pear Pot is wood-fired, which creates unique, natural moonscape patterns that vary from piece to piece. You should expect your teapot to have its own distinct finish and character.
No, this teapot is not designed for direct heat or microwave use. It should only be used as a vessel for steeping tea with water that has been heated in a separate kettle.
This pot is specifically designed for solo Gongfu-style brewing, which focuses on small, frequent infusions rather than a large single cup. It is perfect for a focused, personal ritual but is not intended for serving multiple people.
