Green Yixing clay teapot, 6 oz
This green Yixing clay teapot holds 6 oz, making it ideal for one focused, intentional serving session. Green Yixing clay is rarer than the more common purple variety, and the engraved scholar-tradition motif sets it apart visually. Best suited for oolong and green tea. If you want to explore how brew times and temperatures affect your cup, our loose leaf tea brewing times and temperatures chart is a handy companion. Not dishwasher safe; rinse with hot water only to preserve the clay.
Why you'll love it
The rare green Yixing pot, finally yours
Green Yixing clay is genuinely hard to come by, honey. Most people never even see one in person. Owning this little pot means your tea ritual gets a quiet upgrade, the kind you feel more than you explain. Six ounces keeps you present, attentive, unhurried. It changes the whole mood of the morning, believe me. Also, take a look at our Yixing clay teapot with rooster motif if you want a second pot for bigger pours.
What makes it special
Rarer clay, engraved by a steady hand
Green Yixing clay is rarer than purple, mind you, and that matters beyond looks. The engraved motif follows the scholar tradition, the kind of decoration that has meaning behind it, not just pattern. Six ounces is a deliberate size, made for careful, attentive service rather than filling a big mug and walking away. This is a pot that asks something of you, and gives a lot back.
Picture this
One good oolong, no distractions
You measure your oolong, pour just-off-the-boil water into this small green pot, and wait. Six ounces means two small cups, maybe three if you pour carefully. The engraved surface is cool under your fingers. You are not multitasking. You are just making tea, and for a few minutes that is genuinely enough. Well now, that is a morning worth having, dear.
In real life
Small pot, big difference at the table
Between you and me, a 6 oz Yixing teapot is the kind of thing that changes how guests behave at your table. Suddenly everyone slows down, waits for the next pour, actually talks. It works beautifully for oolong and green tea, both of which reward multiple short steeps. The small capacity is not a limitation, it is the whole point. You brew more often, and you pay attention every single time.

FAQ
Your questions, answered
How much tea does this pot actually make?
It holds 6 oz, so plan on two small cups per brew, maybe three if you pour on the lighter side. It is sized for one person brewing with full attention, or two people sharing a quiet moment. Perfect for multiple short steeps with oolong or green tea.
What teas work best in a green Yixing clay teapot?
Oolong and green tea are the recommended choices for this pot. Yixing clay is traditionally paired with teas that benefit from careful, attentive brewing. Stick to those two families and you will get the best out of both the clay and your leaves.
How do I clean and care for this teapot?
Rinse with hot water only, no soap. Yixing clay is porous and absorbs flavor over time, which is actually a feature, not a flaw. Soap would strip that seasoning right out. Let it air dry after each use and it will reward you for years.
Is green Yixing clay really different from purple Yixing?
Yes, and meaningfully so. Green Yixing clay is rarer than the purple variety, which is why you see far fewer green pots on the market. The material and the engraved scholar-tradition motif make this pot genuinely uncommon, not just a color variation.
What is the return and shipping policy?
Free US shipping is included with every order, no minimum required. You also get a 30-day return window if something is not right. And a real person at Granny Lulu reads and answers every email, so you are never stuck talking to a bot.

With over 60 years of experience in the world of tea, we are happy to share our expertise with you.

What are your delivery times?
Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, and US delivery usually takes 5 to 12 business days. You will receive tracking by email as soon as your order ships.
How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
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.
Do you offer a warranty on your products?
Yes, all our products are guaranteed for 1 year against manufacturing defects, on top of the 30-day money-back guarantee.
Can I return an item if I am not satisfied?
Absolutely. We offer a 30-day return policy: if a product does not suit you, email teatime@luluteapot.com and we will make it right.
