The "Tian Ji" Yixing clay teapot holds 150 ml and is made for gongfu tea for one or two. Yixing clay has long been prized by tea lovers for its ability to bring out the flavor of the brew gently.
The teapot is a rich reddish-brown with a matte surface. The body is a truncated cylinder that widens toward the base, with a flat lid and a small knob, a short spout and a loop handle. A fine engraving of mountains and trees runs around the body and across the lid, alongside vertical lines of Chinese characters.

How to Use
Before first use, warm the teapot with hot water. Add the tea, pour in water at a suitable temperature and put on the lid. Suitable for pu-erh, oolong and other loose-leaf teas; for gongfu brewing, use short infusions.
Care
After brewing, pour out the leaves, rinse the teapot with hot water and let it dry with the lid open. Do not use detergent: unglazed clay absorbs odors. It is best to brew only one type of tea in the teapot.
