Know before you buy
Cu Tao clay is porous, meaning it absorbs the oils and aromas of the tea brewed within it. Over time, this seasoning process can subtly mellow the flavor profile and add depth to your subsequent infusions.
Because the clay is porous, it will retain the characteristics of the tea you brew. It is best to dedicate this pitcher to a specific category, such as Raw Pu-erh, Oolong, or Black tea, to avoid clashing flavor profiles.
The pitcher has a capacity of approximately 160ml, or 5.41 ounces. This is well-suited for standard gong fu tea sessions where you are serving a small group or using a smaller gaiwan.
No. Because these pieces are fired in a wood-burning kiln, the flame and ash create unique patterns and textures on every item. You should expect your pitcher to have its own distinct character and finish.
Rinse the pitcher with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb the chemicals and affect the taste of your future teas.
