Its micro-porous structure absorbs trace oils and flavour from your tea over time, effectively seasoning the pot and enhancing every subsequent brew — a quality no other ceramic can replicate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow many cups does the 200ml teapot serve?\u003c\/strong\u003e At 200ml, this teapot is ideal for a focused, meditative tea session. It comfortably serves two to four small pours across the included cups, making it perfect for gongfu-style brewing where multiple short infusions are enjoyed in succession.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I care for my set?\u003c\/strong\u003e Always hand wash with hot water only — never use soap or detergent, as the porous clay will absorb it. Dedicate your pot to a single type of tea for best results, and allow all pieces to dry completely between uses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are there two colour options?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both finishes are crafted from the same authentic Yixing zisha clay. The Red and Black variants simply offer different aesthetic expressions — one honouring classical tradition, the other embracing a more understated, modern sensibility. The brewing performance is equally excellent in both.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery set ships worldwide from \u003cstrong\u003eRootborn Rituals\u003c\/strong\u003e, carefully packaged to arrive safely and ready to begin its life at your tea table.
