FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No, it is not recommended to boil water directly in a zisha teapot. These teapots are traditionally used for steeping tea, not for boiling water.
Yes, the typical usage of a zisha teapot involves pouring hot water into the teapot along with tea leaves, allowing them to steep, and then serving the brewed tea.
To clean your zisha teapot, rinse it with hot water after each use, avoiding the use of soap or abrasive cleaners, as these can affect the flavor of your tea. Allow the teapot to air dry completely before storing it.
While zisha teapots are traditionally used for oolong, black, and pu-erh teas, you can experiment with different types of tea. However, it's recommended to dedicate a specific zisha teapot to each type of tea to avoid flavor contamination.
Seasoning a zisha teapot involves brewing several pots of tea to allow the clay to absorb the flavors and oils, enhancing the taste of your tea over time. Simply brew tea in your teapot as you normally would, and with each use, the teapot will become seasoned.
No, zisha teapots are not designed to be used on a stovetop or direct heat source. They are meant for brewing tea using hot water poured into the teapot.
To prevent cracking, avoid exposing your zisha teapot to sudden temperature changes, such as placing it directly on a cold surface after brewing hot tea. Allow the teapot to cool down gradually to room temperature before handling it or cleaning it.
Store your zisha teapot in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent any potential damage to the clay. It's also a good idea to store it with the lid off to allow for proper ventilation and to prevent any moisture buildup.
