-
Is this teapot safe to use with boiling water?
Yes. Banko-yaki clay is heat-resistant and specifically made for brewing tea with hot water. However, avoid placing it directly on a stove or open flame.
-
Can I use this teapot for teas other than green tea?
While ideal for green tea (sencha, gyokuro, etc.), it can be used for other loose-leaf teas. Keep in mind that the porous clay absorbs flavors over time, so it’s best to dedicate it to one type of tea.
-
Will the clay affect the taste of tea?
Yes—in a good way. The unglazed interior subtly enhances flavor over time by absorbing tea oils, especially when used consistently with one tea type.
-
Is this teapot dishwasher safe?
No. Hand washing with warm water only is recommended. Avoid soap, as it can be absorbed by the porous clay and affect tea flavor.
