Angled Shi Piao Yixing pot

It's all about the details with this pot. Hand crafted with a unique style, the angled handle and recessed lid make the lines of this pot a work of art. The shi piao shaped pots are ideal for any puerh lover. Holding roughly 120ml, their squat, wide shape is perfect for allowing compressed cakes to expand. The thicker sides hold more heat, keeping the steeping conditions as hot as possible for puerh brewing. The size is great for solo or paired tea sessions. The fitted lid makes a perfect seal for a long and smooth pour.



Each pot comes in its own fitted box with a certificate of authenticity.



Yixing pots are iconic and are known as being the first teapots in the world. The clay is uniquely porous and will "drink" the tea that is made with it, allowing the consecutive steeps to absorb into the clay and enhance future steeps. For this reason, it is recommended that each pot be dedicated to one type of tea to prevent the crossover of other flavors. Over time, your pot will become more seasoned and make each pot of tea more aromatic and flavorful.



To care for your pot, rinse with hot water immediately after each use and allow it to dry completely before applying the lid. Never use soap or abrasives.



It is important to properly care for your pot to ensure its longevity. When you first bring it home, rinse it with hot water and then cold water. This should wash away the clay smell.
