Clay Teapot – Black

Description

Curator’s Notes

The unglazed surface of this clay teapot remains porous, absorbing the natural oils of the tea leaves. Much like a cast iron pan develops a seasoning with use, the teapot will gradually form a layer of accumulated oils, imparting its own unique flavor to each tea that you brew. Its basin is wide to better release the aroma and taste of tea leaves, and its flat design works especially well for black teas that require higher temperatures.
