What we liked

  • + Purple clay zisha pots are traditionally prized for oolong and pu-erh brewing
  • + Unglazed clay builds a patina with use, so the pot gains character
  • + Classic shape looks at home on a gongfu tea tray

Trade-offs

  • - Unglazed clay absorbs flavors, so it is best dedicated to one tea type
  • - Title lists height but not volume, so pour size is unclear
