Why Teaware Matters
In Chinese tea culture, teaware is not just functional—it is an essential part of the tea ceremony. The right teaware can significantly enhance the flavor, aroma, and overall experience of your tea. Yixing clay teapots, for example, are prized for their ability to absorb tea oils over time, seasoning the pot and improving the taste with each use.

Caring for Your Teaware
Proper care ensures your teaware lasts for generations. Yixing teapots should never be washed with soap—simply rinse with hot water after each use. Season new Yixing pots by brewing tea in them several times before regular use. Porcelain and glass can be washed normally, while bamboo should be kept dry to prevent mold.
Gongfu Tea Ceremony
Our teaware is perfect for practicing gongfu cha, the traditional Chinese tea ceremony that emphasizes skill, patience, and appreciation. This method uses small vessels and multiple short infusions to extract the full character of the tea. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced tea enthusiast, proper teaware will elevate your tea sessions.
