Yixing clay is naturally unglazed, which means it gradually absorbs the character of your tea over time. Intended for loose-leaf tea use only. Hand wash only, no soap. Not microwave or dishwasher safe.

If you are used to brewing a big mug in one go, this will feel different, but hold on now, that smaller, more focused brew is kind of the whole idea with a Yixing teapot.\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 purple 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, dear. No soap, no dishwasher, no microwave. Yixing clay is unglazed and porous, so soap will soak right in and ruin the flavor of every future brew. Just rinse well with hot water after each use, let it air dry, and it will be perfectly happy.\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 dedicate this teapot to 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 approach, and well now, there is a real reason for it. Because the clay absorbs your tea over time, mixing a smoky black tea with a delicate green tea in the same pot will muddy both. Most Yixing enthusiasts keep one pot per tea type. It sounds fussy, but believe me, the results speak for themselves.\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\"\u003eIs the bamboo design painted on or part of the clay?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cp style=\"margin:0;padding:0 0 16px 0;line-height:1.7;color:inherit;opacity:.82\"\u003eIt is hand-carved directly into the purple clay, not painted or applied on top. That means it will not chip, fade, or wear off over years of use. It also means each teapot carries slight individual variations, which is honestly part of the charm of a hand-crafted Yixing piece.\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 this teapot for bagged tea or tea capsules?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cp style=\"margin:0;padding:0 0 16px 0;line-height:1.7;color:inherit;opacity:.82\"\u003eLoose-leaf tea only, sweetheart. Tea bags can work in a pinch, but this teapot is really designed around the loose-leaf experience.
