Yixing Zisha Teapot Gu Shi Piao

Dahongpao is a high-density, iron-rich purple clay known for its excellent heat retention. Its porous structure allows it to absorb tea oils over time, which can subtly mellow the flavor and improve the texture of your brews with consistent use.

Because Yixing clay is porous and absorbs the characteristics of the tea brewed in it, it is best to dedicate this pot to one specific type of tea—such as Oolong, Pu-erh, or Black tea—to avoid muddying the flavor profiles.

The nine-hole filter is designed to provide a smooth, consistent flow while effectively straining out tea leaves. It is a standard, reliable configuration for the Shi Piao style that prevents clogging during the pour.

Rinse the teapot with hot water only; avoid using soap or detergents, as the clay will absorb the chemicals and ruin future brews. Simply wipe the exterior with a soft cloth and allow the pot to air dry completely between uses.

Yes, this capacity is ideal for a solo tea session or a focused gongfu-style brewing experience. It is designed for multiple short infusions rather than serving a large group.
