Craft and Character
Yixing Clay, a Celestial Pig, and 650 ml of Good Sense
Yixing clay has been the go-to material for serious tea brewing for centuries, and mind you, there is a reason it stuck around. It holds heat beautifully and does not interfere with your tea's flavor the way some materials can. At 650 ml, this teapot is generous enough for two or three cups, which is just right for sharing or for a long, quiet morning. The Celestial Pig design is charming without being fussy, hand-painted and full of personality.
FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
How much tea can this Yixing clay teapot hold?
It holds 650 ml, which is enough for two to three cups depending on your mug size. Well now, that is a solid amount for a shared pot or a long solo brewing session without having to refill every five minutes.
Can I use this teapot on the stovetop?
No, dear, this Yixing clay teapot is not stovetop safe. You will want to heat your water separately in a kettle and then pour it in. That is the proper way to do it with clay teapots anyway, so no corners cut here.
How do I clean and care for this Yixing clay teapot?
Hand wash only, no dishwasher. A seasoning rinse before first use is recommended. Between you and me, keeping it simple with warm water and no soap is the traditional approach with Yixing clay, and it keeps the teapot in good shape for the long run.
Is this teapot suitable for all types of loose-leaf tea?
It is designed for loose-leaf tea brewing. Hold on now, if you are a purist, some folks dedicate their Yixing teapot to one type of tea so the clay can absorb those flavors over time. That is entirely up to you and how serious you want to get about it.
What comes in the box with this Yixing teapot?
The teapot comes with its fitted lid included. That is your set, nice and straightforward. Let me tell you, always double-check the listing images for a clear sense of the actual size before you order, just so there are no surprises when it arrives.

Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.
