What it does
- Zisha Mineral Clay
- Seasoning Micro-Pores
- Single-Hole Filter Chute
- 200ml Gongfu Capacity
Who it suits
- gongfu-style brewing, where short repeated steeps need a vessel you can pour off fast
- dedicating one pot to one type of tea, so the clay can season
Who should skip it
- a large pot for several people, since this is small-format ware
- switching between very different teas in the same pot, because unglazed clay keeps some aroma
The thing worth knowing
Unglazed clay absorbs and returns aroma, so a clay pot is usually kept for one tea type. Rinse it with hot water only: soap can leave a taste in the clay.

What we have not done
We have not independently tested this product. The description above is compiled from the manufacturer’s published specification and from what the category demands, and it is written to tell you who the equipment suits rather than to sell it. Where we have no first-hand experience, we say so rather than inventing a star rating.
