Make a delightful cup of tea with this teapot. Made from Yixing clay found in the Jiangsu province of China, this teapot "seasons," which means it takes on the flavor of your favorite tea to enhance every cup. But for that reason, it should only be used for one type of tea (white, green, oolong, black, herbal) for the best possible cup every time. Since the clay has the unique characteristic of absorbing the flavor of your tea, washing with soap will take away from that unique quality. Never wash your Yixing teapots with any detergents or cleaning agents. Rinse them with hot water after each use, pat dry with soft towels if preferred, and leave the lid off until it is fully dried for best results.7-1/2" diameter x 5-1/4" H, with a 20 ounce capacity
