Yes, Tokoname-yaki clay is slightly porous, which is prized in Japanese tea culture for its ability to absorb tea oils over time, potentially mellowing the flavor of your brews. Because of this, it is recommended to dedicate this teapot to one type of tea to avoid flavor cross-contamination.

Rinse the teapot with warm water immediately after use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous clay can absorb these scents and affect the taste of your future brews.

At 230ml, this teapot is perfectly sized for one to two people. It is ideal for multiple short infusions, which is the traditional way to enjoy high-quality Japanese green teas.
