From Yin-Go, a Taiwanese township famous for its pottery, comes our little gong-fu teapot. Holding 6.0 ounces, this functional model is the perfect size for any oolong or pu-erh and will brew up great greens. Watch the pot's color darken and take on a sheen over time as it absorbs oils from your tea. It is said that after years of use, a gong-fu pot can actually brew tea without any leaf inside! Simply rinse with water & allow to dry - and please, no soap.

This traditional Taiwanese teapot is ideal especially for oolong teas, which produce some of their most dynamic flavors when brewed gong-fu style in one of these pots. The nuggets (twisted-leaf style oolongs work as well) have opportunity to slowly open over several steepings, releasing slightly different flavors at each steeping. Some of the higher-quality oolongs can be steeped up to 7 or 8 times if leaf quantity, water temperature, and steeping time are all properly monitored. One of the best ways to enjoy tea is with a gong-fu teapot such as this one.
