Yixing Teapots are made from Yixing clay. This traditional style commonly used to brew originated in China dating back to the 15th century, and are made from clay produced near Yixing in the eastern Chinese province of Jiangsu. Yixing teapots are meant for use with black and oolong.They can also be used for green or white tea, but the water must be allowed to cool to around 85 °C (185 °F) before pouring the water into the pot. Yixing teapots absorb a tiny amount of tea into the pot during brewing. After prolonged use, the pot will develop a coating that retains the flavor and color of the tea. It is for this reason that soap should not be used to clean Yixing teapots. Instead, it should be rinsed with fresh water and allowed to air-dry. A studious tea connoisseur will only steep one type of tea in a particular pot, so as not to corrupt the flavor that has been absorbed. Generally,This Teapot Hold Approx 12 ounces of liquid and is hand made by artisans in China.Please ask if you have any other questions.
