FAQ
FAQ
Q: Is this Yixing tea set made from authentic zisha clay?
A: Yes! This set is made from real Yixing zisha (purple/red) clay, sourced from Jiangsu Province, China. This porous, unglazed clay is known for its ability to absorb tea oils and enhance flavour over time.
Q: Can I use this set for Gong Fu style brewing?
A: Absolutely. This tea set is ideal for Gong Fu style brewing—where tea is steeped in small amounts using high leaf-to-water ratios for multiple infusions. It’s especially suited for large-leaf teas like Kumari Gold, Imperial Keemun Mao Feng, or Wuyi Rock Oolong.
Q: What is the meaning behind the bamboo design?
A: In traditional Chinese culture, bamboo symbolizes resilience, elegance, and moral strength. This design adds artistic charm and a deeper layer of meaning to your tea ritual.
Q: Does the clay change the taste of the tea?
A: Over time, yes. Because Yixing clay is unglazed and slightly porous, it gradually absorbs the aromatic oils from your tea. With regular use, your teapot becomes seasoned and subtly enhances the flavour of future sessions. Eventually, your tea service becomes as unique as you are!
Q: How should I care for my Yixing teapot?
A: Simply rinse with warm water—no soap! Allow it to air dry completely between uses. Over time, your teapot will develop a natural patina that reflects your personal tea journey.
Q: Is this set a good gift?
A: Definitely. The combination of heritage, beauty, and practicality makes it an ideal gift for tea lovers, cultural appreciators, or anyone who could use a little more calm in their day.
