Fang Gu Yixing Teapot

Zhuni clay is highly prized for its high iron content and porous, granular structure. These properties allow the teapot to retain heat exceptionally well and soften the water, which helps highlight the aromatic profiles of teas like oolong and yancha.

The 150ml capacity is designed specifically for gongfu-style brewing, making it ideal for one to two people. It is sized to provide multiple small, concentrated infusions rather than a single large serving.

The multi-hole filter is integrated directly into the spout area, providing a consistent flow that prevents clogging. It works effectively with tightly rolled oolongs and larger leaf teas, though very fine, broken-leaf teas may still pass through.

No, you should never use soap or detergent on a Yixing teapot. The clay is porous and will absorb the scent of cleaning agents, which can ruin the flavor of your future brews; simply rinse it with hot water after each use.

While not strictly required, many enthusiasts choose to 'boil' or season a new Yixing pot by simmering it in water with a small amount of the tea you intend to brew most often. This helps remove any residual clay dust and prepares the surface for seasoning.
