Know before you buy
Lao zi ni is a porous, mineral-rich clay that absorbs the essential oils and flavors of the tea over time. With consistent use, the teapot becomes 'seasoned,' which can enhance the aroma and depth of future brews.
This teapot is designed for Gongfu-style brewing, which uses smaller servings. It is perfectly sized for a single person or a small gathering of two to three people.
The ball filter is integrated into the base of the spout to prevent tea leaves from entering your cup. It ensures a smooth, consistent flow while effectively straining even small, broken tea leaves.
No, you should never use soap or detergents on a Zisha teapot. Because the clay is porous, it will absorb the soap, which will ruin the flavor of your future tea; simply rinse it with hot water after each use.
It is generally recommended to dedicate one Zisha teapot to a single type of tea, such as Oolong, Pu-erh, or Black tea. Because the clay absorbs flavors, using it for multiple varieties can lead to muddy or inconsistent tastes.
