YIXINGTeapotStudio Beauty Shoulder Teapot

Because this teapot is made from porous Yixing clay, it is best dedicated to a single type of tea, such as oolong or pu-erh. The clay absorbs the oils and flavors of the tea over time, which can enhance future brews but may cause cross-contamination if you switch between different varieties.

The embedded lid is precision-fitted to sit flush with the teapot body, which helps retain heat more effectively than a standard overlapping lid. This design also creates a tighter seal, ensuring a more consistent temperature throughout your steep.

This capacity is designed for traditional gongfu-style brewing, which focuses on small, concentrated servings. It is ideal for one or two people, but you will need to refill the pot frequently if serving a larger group.

While the handle is ergonomically shaped for a steady grip, it is made from the same clay as the body and will conduct heat. We recommend handling it carefully or using a small tea towel if you are steeping at very high temperatures.

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