Yixing Teapot

Yixing clay is naturally porous, which allows it to absorb the essential oils and flavors of the tea brewed inside. Over time, this 'seasoning' process enhances the depth and character of your tea, making it a favorite for dedicated tea enthusiasts.

This teapot is specifically designed for single servings or intimate tea ceremonies. Its 100 ml capacity is ideal for gongfu-style brewing, where you steep small amounts of tea for multiple short infusions.

The side handle offers a more ergonomic grip compared to traditional rear-handle teapots, allowing for better control and balance while pouring. It is particularly helpful when working with the smaller, more delicate movements required for precise tea service.

Simply rinse the teapot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb the chemicals and permanently alter the taste of your future brews.

Because the clay is porous and retains the flavor of the tea brewed within it, it is best to dedicate one teapot to a single type of tea—such as oolong, pu-erh, or black tea. Mixing different varieties can lead to muddy or inconsistent flavor profiles.
