This teapot is fired in traditional wood burning kilns. The kiln uses local pine trees, takes a whole day of constantly adding wood to the fire, slowly bringing the temperature inside the kiln to 1200 degrees celsius. The teapots are then fired for 84 hours. This process changes the composition and appearance of the teapots, produces a dark colour on the surface of the clay.
Only one in stock, so the pot photographed is the pot you will receive.

Preparation Before Use
Yixing Teapots should be prepared before using the first time. This is called "opening the pot". It removes the dust/sand from firing the teapot.
We recommend rinsing the teapot under warm water two or three times, then wipe gently inside and outside of the pot with a new non-scratch sponge scourer to remove sediment trapped in the unglazed clay.
Then, filling the teapot with boiling water, wait for 10 minutes, empty the pot; repeat one more time, the new Yixing teapot is ready for use.
Daily cleaning and seasoning
Empty the leaves after each use, rinse with boiling water, drain, wipe water away with clean soft cloth, and then lid off, place the body upside, let it air dry for one or two days.
Do not ever use any detergent or soap than water to clean the pot.
Do not let the potcome into contact with other strong smell such as cooking fume, cigarette smoke, perfume.
