How to Use Rishi Teapots

The teapots we offer are easy to use, simply add your desired amount of tea leaves and hot water. Particular vessels are better for some brewing methods, such as when brewing in gongfu cha brewing method. While these teapots are great for brewing and holding hot water teas, they should not be used to boil water on top of a direct flame or heat source, as they may be damaged by the intense heat.

FAQs

While some of our teaware is dishwasher safe, such as our Simple Brew pot, many of these pots are not. It is suggested to wash these vessels with hot, soapy water and allow them to dry thoroughly before using to brew tea.

Choosing between a glass or ceramic pot is largely based on preference, but can significantly affect the brewing process. Clay pots tend to hold more heat for a longer amount of time, leading to a more stable brewing temperature, but can also be somewhat porous, causing clay pots to “cure” with the flavors of teas brewed in them. Glass pots, conversely, cool down quicker than clay pots, but will be easier to clean and much less porous, leading to a more “true-to-origin” flavor.

It is generally recommended to preheat a tea set before brewing, as cold teaware can leech heat from the tea during the brewing and serving process. To maintain the most stable and controlled tea brew, it is suggested to flush the pot and cups with boiling water before brewing tea leaves.
