FAQ
The best materials depend on what kind of tea you want to make. Yixing clay teapots are revered for bringing out the flavor of oolong and pu-erh teas. Porcelain teapots are ideal for green and white teas because they don’t add any flavor of their own. Glass teapots offer a beautiful view of the tea as it brews.
A Yixing teapot should first be seasoned by submerging it in a pan of hot water with some of the tea that they will be used to brew boiled for a few minutes and then emptied and allowed to air dry on a clean towel. Once seasoned teapots should only be rinsed with hot water and then allowed to air dry after each use; no detergents should be used on the teapot, since these taint the pot and the tea brewed in it. With continual use, the tea pot will develop more and more of the flavour of the tea that is brewed. Over time the teapot will develop a seasoning from the oils in the tea that enhance the taste, aroma and texture of the brewed tea. Seasoning teapots can take many
The right water temperature depends on the kind of tea you are brewing. Green teas and white teas need cooler water (about 170–185 °F (77–85 °C) so the tea doesn’t become bitter. Oolong and black teas need much warmer water, (about 200–212 °F (93–100 °C) to unleash their intricate flavours.
Regular cleaning is the best way to prevent staining. Just rinse your teapot after every use, immediately with hot water. For stains you can use a soft brush or sponge to clean. Do not use abrasive cleaners which can scratch the teapot.

Most Chinese teapots are not stove safe. Typically speaking, they’re not intended for stove top use. For the most part, a Chinese teapot is intended to be used to brew tea with water that’s already been heated in an alternate fashion. Putting a Chinese teapot on a stove will damage it – and could be dangerous to you.
The shape of a teapot is related to the type of tea for which it is best suited. For instance, a taller pot is better for brewing oolong, whilst a shorter, squatter pot is better for pu-erh. The shape also affects the flow of tea and the aroma.
