YANYOO Gourd Yixing Teapot

Yixing clay is porous and absorbs the oils and aromas of the tea brewed inside it. Using soap or detergents can leave a residue that ruins the flavor of future brews and prevents the clay from seasoning properly.

This teapot is ideal for sheng puerh and oolong teas. The porous nature of the aged Wuni clay helps soften the astringency of these teas, resulting in a smoother, more balanced cup.

No, this teapot is designed without a built-in filter, as the traditional craftsmanship and spout design are intended to provide a clean pour. If you are brewing loose-leaf tea with very fine particles, you may choose to use an external strainer, but it is not required for standard leaf sizes.

Because it is made from unglazed Wuni clay, the teapot will develop a unique, deep patina over time. Regular use will season the pot, allowing it to gradually absorb the character of your favorite teas and improve the flavor profile of each brew.

No, this teapot is not dishwasher or microwave safe. The high-temperature firing makes it durable for brewing, but the natural clay material can be damaged by the harsh chemicals in detergents or the rapid temperature fluctuations of a microwave.
