A classic shape of Zisha pot, and also one that's a favourite of many teapot artists and the tea drinkers/collectors alike. This Fang Gu is a mid-sized teapot (relatively speaking) with a wide opening and shorter body. This makes it a great vessel to brew Pu'erh and strip types of Oolong tea such as Dancong or Rock Tea.
Usage and care:
Rinse and season the teapot before use. Here's a quick guide to show you how. As the clay is porous and teapot is unglazed, dedicate one tea type per pot (or if you wish to take it to the next level, dedicate only one tea per pot). Hand-wash only with water and NEVER EVER wash with soap or detergent. The last thing you want is soapy suds flavouring your next brew.
