How to Season Your Yixing Zisha Teapot (First Use)

Before brewing tea, it’s important to open the teapot properly to remove kiln dust and prepare the clay:

1. Rinse the teapot with warm water.

2. Boil it in clean water for 30–60 minutes (optional: add used tea leaves of the intended type).

3. Cool and air dry naturally—do not use detergents.

4. Your teapot is now ready for brewing.

This process helps awaken the clay, allowing it to gradually absorb the tea’s oils and character.

Daily Use & Cleaning Tips

• ☕ Use the teapot only for one type of tea (e.g., Oolong or Pu-erh)

• 🔥 Preheat with hot water before brewing to improve infusion

• 💧 After each use, rinse with warm water only—no soap

• 🌬️ Let it air dry fully with the lid off

• 🫖 Over time, a natural sheen (patina) will form—this is a sign of a well-loved teapot

Proper care ensures that your handmade Yixing teapot becomes more seasoned and beautiful with each brew.
