Yixing Zhuni Chinese Teapot

With a density rating of 9 out of 10, this Zhuni clay offers exceptional heat retention. This allows the teapot to maintain a consistent temperature during brewing, which is particularly beneficial for extracting the nuanced flavors of oolong and Pu-Erh teas.

Yes, the versatile nature of this teapot makes it suitable for a wide range of teas, including Raw Pu-Erh, oolong, white, black, and green varieties. However, because Yixing clay is porous, it is recommended to dedicate one teapot to a single type of tea to avoid flavor cross-contamination.

The single-hole spout is designed for a controlled and precise pour. While it does not feature a built-in mesh filter, the design ensures a steady stream, making it ideal for traditional gongfu-style brewing where leaves are often kept in the pot.

No, this teapot is not dishwasher, microwave, or stovetop safe. To preserve the integrity of the Zhuni clay and the gold mounting, it should be hand-washed with warm water only and never exposed to harsh detergents or extreme temperature fluctuations.

The 100 ml capacity is specifically tailored for intimate, single-person sessions or traditional gongfu tea ceremonies. It is designed for multiple short infusions rather than brewing a large volume of tea at once.
