Know before you buy
The crazing pattern refers to the fine, web-like cracks that naturally appear in the ruyao glaze over time as the teapot absorbs tea oils. This is a sought-after aesthetic in traditional Chinese ceramics, as it gives each piece a unique, personalized character.
Yes, the 7 oz capacity and round shape are specifically designed for gongfu cha. The design allows tea leaves to circulate freely, ensuring a full, balanced extraction.
No, this teapot does not include an infuser or a built-in filter. It is designed for traditional brewing where leaves are placed directly into the pot, which is standard for gongfu-style preparation.
Because of the delicate ruyao glaze, this teapot is not dishwasher safe. We recommend rinsing it with warm water immediately after use and allowing it to air dry completely; avoid using harsh soaps or abrasive scrubbers.
No, this teapot is not stovetop safe. It should only be used for steeping tea with water that has already been heated in a separate kettle.
