Know before you buy
Yes, the interior is fully glazed, which makes it non-porous. This prevents the teapot from absorbing flavors, allowing you to switch between different tea types without lingering residue.
The teapot has a capacity of 165ml with a margin of error of plus or minus 10ml. This volume is specifically sized for solo tea sessions, providing enough liquid for a standard cup or multiple small infusions.
The glazed ceramic provides moderate heat retention. It is well-suited for standard brewing sessions, though you may want to pre-warm the pot with hot water to maintain optimal temperatures for delicate teas.
The spout is designed for a clean, controlled pour. However, as with many artisanal ceramic teapots, it is best to pour with a steady, confident motion to ensure a clean cutoff.
We recommend hand washing the teapot with warm water and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh detergents, as these can dull the glaze and the intricate artwork over time.
