How to Use
Before first use, rinse the teapot with hot water and warm it up. Add the tea, give it a quick rinse and brew gongfu style, gradually increasing the infusion time. It is best to dedicate the teapot to one group of teas so that the clay keeps their aroma.
Care
Rinse the teapot with clean hot water without detergent so that the porous clay does not absorb foreign odors. After use, leave the lid slightly open and let the teapot dry completely.
