Nixing pottery is renowned for enhancing the flavor of aged and fermented teas. The porous clay breathes with the tea, softening bitterness and amplifying the rich, mellow character of Liubao tea. The teapot’s heat retention properties ensure consistent temperature throughout multiple infusions.

Care & Maintenance

Before first use: Rinse with warm water and steep with used tea leaves for 30 minutes to season the pot.

Daily care: Rinse with warm water after each use. Never use soap or detergent — the porous clay absorbs flavors.

Storage: Air dry completely before storing. Keep the lid slightly ajar to prevent mold.

Tip: Designate one tea type per pot to preserve flavor purity.
