The clay is porous and absorbs the aromatic oils of the teas it brews. As such, we don’t recommend brewing scented or blended teas to avoid flavor transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I clean my clay teapot?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNever use soap! Remove the brewed tea leaves (chopsticks help) and rinse with hot water until all the small tea leaves are rinsed out. Don’t forget to rinse the lid. Use your hand for tea stains, we don't think there is a real need for a scrub. Once it's cleaned, open the lid to air dry. Do not replace the lid until the teapot is completely dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRelated Links\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca class=\"uu\" href=\"https:\/\/tecompanytea.mom\/pages\/how-to-brew-tea-using-a-teapot\" aria-label=\"How to brew tea using a clay teapot\"\u003eHow to brew tea using a clay teapot\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\u003ca class=\"uu\" href=\"https:\/\/tecompanytea.mom\/blogs\/tea-atelier\/how-to-care-for-your-clay-teapot\" aria-label=\"How to care for your clay teapot\"\u003eHow to care for your clay teapot\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Té Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":476867592209,"sku":"300101","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0223\/8891\/files\/terracotta-clay-teapot.jpg?v=1685046775"},{"product_id":"celebration-teacups","title":"Celebration Teacup Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis set of teacups, laced with wedding celebration patterns, is available as an add-on to the Celebration Tea Set for large party tea ceremonies.
