It is crafted from Chinese purple clay, the same zisha material that has been used in Yixing for centuries. Hand-wash only, no soap. Not suitable for the dishwasher or microwave. The teapot is designed for loose-leaf tea and works best with oolongs, pu-erh, and aged teas. Dedicated use to a single tea type is recommended to preserve the clay's seasoning over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px;min-width:270px\"\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"border:1px solid #60700033;border-radius:14px;overflow:hidden;box-shadow:0 4px 14px rgba(0,0,0,.05)\"\u003e\n    \u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:.95em\"\u003e\n      \u003ctr style=\"background:#6070000f;border-bottom:1px solid #6070001f;\"\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-size:.72em;letter-spacing:.12em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#607000;font-weight:700;white-space:nowrap;vertical-align:middle;width:38%\"\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 16px;line-height:1.55;color:inherit;opacity:.88\"\u003e220ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #6070001f;\"\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-size:.72em;letter-spacing:.12em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#607000;font-weight:700;white-space:nowrap;vertical-align:middle;width:38%\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 16px;line-height:1.55;color:inherit;opacity:.88\"\u003eChinese purple clay (Yixing zisha)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr style=\"background:#6070000f;border-bottom:1px solid #6070001f;\"\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-size:.72em;letter-spacing:.12em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#607000;font-weight:700;white-space:nowrap;vertical-align:middle;width:38%\"\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 16px;line-height:1.55;color:inherit;opacity:.88\"\u003eYixing clay teapot\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #6070001f;\"\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-size:.72em;letter-spacing:.12em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#607000;font-weight:700;white-space:nowrap;vertical-align:middle;width:38%\"\u003eCare\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 16px;line-height:1.55;color:inherit;opacity:.88\"\u003eHand-wash only, no soap, no dishwasher\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n      \u003ctr style=\"background:#6070000f;\"\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-size:.72em;letter-spacing:.12em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#607000;font-weight:700;white-space:nowrap;vertical-align:middle;width:38%\"\u003eBest for\u003c\/td\u003e\n        \u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 16px;line-height:1.55;color:inherit;opacity:.88\"\u003eLoose-leaf tea, gongfu brewing\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003c\/table\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:40px;align-items:center;margin:0 0 56px 0;background:transparent\"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px;min-width:270px\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/5958\/7940\/files\/Theiere-Chinoise-en-Argile-Ronde-220ML---340ML-1665356437.jpg?v=1787589905\" alt=\"Your Tea Finally Tastes Like It Should\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:18px;display:block;box-shadow:0 18px 40px rgba(0,0,0,.14)\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px;min-width:270px\"\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px 0;font-size:.7em;letter-spacing:.22em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#607000;font-weight:600\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:inline-block;width:26px;height:2px;background:#607000;vertical-align:middle;margin-right:10px;border-radius:2px\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThe Real Difference\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003ch3 style=\"margin:0 0 14px 0;font-size:1.55em;line-height:1.22;color:inherit\"\u003eYour Tea Finally Tastes Like It Should\u003c\/h3\u003e\n    \u003cp style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.75;color:inherit;opacity:.82\"\u003eHold on now, let me tell you something.

Well now, that is the whole idea with Yixing brewing: small pot, multiple short steeps, and you get to taste the tea change with every round. It is not a breakfast pot for a crowd, mind you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n    \u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #60700030;padding:4px 0\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:14px 0;font-weight:600;line-height:1.4;color:inherit;list-style-position:inside\"\u003eCan I use soap to clean my Yixing clay teapot?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cp style=\"margin:0;padding:0 0 16px 0;line-height:1.7;color:inherit;opacity:.82\"\u003ePlease do not, honey. The purple clay is unglazed and porous, and soap will soak right in and ruin the seasoning you have been building up. Rinse it with hot water after each use, let it air dry, and that is truly all it needs. Simple, believe me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n    \u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #60700030;padding:4px 0\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:14px 0;font-weight:600;line-height:1.4;color:inherit;list-style-position:inside\"\u003eCan this teapot go in the dishwasher or microwave?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cp style=\"margin:0;padding:0 0 16px 0;line-height:1.7;color:inherit;opacity:.82\"\u003eNeither one, I am afraid. The dishwasher is too harsh for unglazed zisha clay, and the microwave is simply not safe for it. Hand-wash only, always. It takes about thirty seconds and your teapot will last you a very long time if you treat it right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n    \u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #60700030;padding:4px 0\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:14px 0;font-weight:600;line-height:1.4;color:inherit;list-style-position:inside\"\u003eWhat kind of tea works best in a Yixing purple clay teapot?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cp style=\"margin:0;padding:0 0 16px 0;line-height:1.7;color:inherit;opacity:.82\"\u003eLoose-leaf teas are what this pot was made for, full stop. Oolongs, pu-erh, and aged teas are the classic choices because their oils and depth really do something wonderful with the clay over time. Most Yixing enthusiasts keep one pot dedicated to a single tea type so the seasoning stays clean and true.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n    \u003cdetails style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #60700030;padding:4px 0\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary style=\"cursor:pointer;padding:14px 0;font-weight:600;line-height:1.4;color:inherit;list-style-position:inside\"\u003eShould I really use this teapot only for one type of tea?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cp style=\"margin:0;padding:0 0 16px 0;line-height:1.7;color:inherit;opacity:.82\"\u003eThat is the traditional recommendation, and I am not going to argue with centuries of good results. The unglazed clay absorbs the character of whatever you brew in it, so mixing very different teas can muddy the flavors. Pick your favorite and stick with it, and the pot will reward you for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- YAVOK_PDP_END --\u003e","brand":"Granny Lulu","offers":[{"title":"220 ml","offer_id":45772667912327,"sku":null,"price":84.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"290 ml","offer_id":45772667945095,"sku":null,"price":109.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"340 ml","offer_id":45772667977863,"sku":null,"price":119.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/1854\/8615\/files\/yixing-clay-teapot-220ml-chinese-purple-clay-tea-pot-packshot_75571c0b-3232-4da1-9ba5-c29618249b4f.webp?v=1788899946","url":"https:\/\/luluteapot.com\/products\/yixing-clay-teapot-220ml-chinese-purple-clay-tea-pot","provider":"Lulu Teapot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
