Know before you buy
This clay is particularly well-suited for oolong, black, and puer teas. Its porous, unglazed interior absorbs the oils of the tea over time, which helps to mellow and enhance the flavor profile of darker, oxidized leaves.
Simply rinse the teapot thoroughly with hot water after each use. Because the clay is porous, soap can be absorbed into the material and taint the flavor of your future brews, so it is best to avoid detergents entirely.
This teapot is designed primarily for personal gongfu tea sessions. While it can serve two people small cups, it is best utilized for solo brewing where you can appreciate the nuances of the tea leaves.
No, this teapot does not require an external filter. It is designed to be used with whole-leaf teas, which stay contained within the pot during the pour.
No, this teapot is not compatible with stovetops, microwaves, or induction burners. It should only be used for steeping tea with hot water poured from a separate kettle.
