While it can be used for various teas, it is specifically ideal for Pu Erh. Because the clay retains the flavor of the tea brewed in it, we recommend dedicating this teapot to a single type or category of tea to avoid flavor cross-contamination.

Never use soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb these chemicals and ruin the flavor of future brews. Simply rinse the teapot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry thoroughly with the lid off.
