Before use
For better taste, we suggest preparing one type or a similar type of tea in your teapot (e.g., non-fermented teas such as shengcha 生茶 and Yunnan white tea 白茶 or fermented/oxidized teas such as shucha 熟茶, Yunnan red tea 红茶, or oolong tea 乌龙). We also suggest to boil the teapot in hot water for about 20-30 minutes with your preferred tea. This will help to get rid of residual dust and dirt and better adapt the teapot to your favourite type of tea. The enhancement of tea taste should be experienced after 4-5 tea sessions, so be patient.
