Preparing Your New Yixing Teaware
Steps for teapot preparations prior to first use:
- Remove lid and add tealeaves into the teapot and teacup. Use tealeaves that you intend to brew in the future with your Yixing Clay Teapot and teacup.
- Pour boiling water into your Yixing Teapot and Teacup.
- Let your teapot and teacup soak in the tea for 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, remove the contents of the teapot and teacup.
- Rinse well with hot water. This removes the natural earthy aroma of the teaware and rinses away any clay residue from the inside of your pot.
- Let it air dry uncovered.
Cleaning Your Yixing Teaware
After each teapot and teacup usage, follow instructions below:
- Pour the tea sediments away.
- Rinse out the pot and cup with hot water.
- Wipe the outside dry with a soft cloth.
- Leave in a dark dry corner to dry naturally.

Perfect tea mug
January 18, 2020
This mug is a little larger than most Yixing mugs I saw. It holds about 12 oz of tea, which is just perfect for me. It’s beautiful and sturdy. As far as my shopping experience, the website is user friendly and shipping was very fast. I will definitely be back! Thank you!

Cup arrived broken and after contacting Enjoying Tea was promptly sent a new one. It’s my first clay cup and I love it. So much I ordered a pot.

I really like this full sized, purple clay mug. It is big enough to keep me sipping for hours. I use a clay infuser from an old cup to brew inside the mug. The handle is shaped like a bamboo stalk, and the bottom of the handle has a small offshoot that provides balance and stability for my little finger. All in all a very nice addition to my tea collection.

Excellent. Just right in volume, size, weight. Made for right-handed individual, which is perfect for the weight and balance. Use it for only favorite teas, leaves very pleasant aroma infused with the clay. I heartily recommend to everyone.

Good Everyday Mug
March 27, 2014
I like my tea hot so the cup or mug I use has to hold heat for as long as possible. This mug does a good job of that. The walls are thick enough that, with the lid, it keeps the tea at a good drinking temperature for about 30 minutes. I brew the tea in the mug and I don't use milk. Like all clay mugs, the tea soon leaves a patina. I would have given it 5 stars but I would like the walls to be a bit thicker. Of course, thicker walls would make it heavier. :)
