Description
The elegant Ming Cha Teapot is perfect for brewing Chinese white, green, and yellow teas. The simple glass design is effective for straining those types of full-leaf teas, while maintaining a natural taste and allowing their rich flavor components like Bai Hao (downy trichomes) to flow through. The result is a pure and sublimely rich infusion.
The term Ming Cha (literally "famous teas") refers to a set of ten historically significant teas from the Chinese tradition, including renowned classics such as Fuding Silver Needles, Dragon Well, Bi Luo Chun Green Snail Spring, Huo Shan Huang Ya Yellow Tea, and more. From the Ming dynasty, the best of these teas were dispatched to the Imperial Court as a form of tribute and to show allegiance to the Emperor.
We sourced this teapot specifically to pair with our collection of Garden Direct seasonal teas from China.

EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR
This teapot is perfect for brewing loose leaf tea for one. There's no fuss with extra parts like... lids or inserts. And it's clear glass so you can see the beautiful color of your teas brewing. Literally perfect, please make this a permanent item forever!
I love this pot. Glass is neutral and east to clean. It never interferes with the character of the tea... and to the contrary it allows you to see the tea it's color and the unfurling leaves. The strainer is built into it and is also glass - not metal, as such has no impact on the character of the tea. Some clay pots are certainly better tea pots but only if you brew only one kind of tea so the tea permeates the clay.
