Vintage Yixing | O.G.
Regular price $210
A classic teapot shape made decades ago. He may be flawed on the surface but never in spirit. The O.G. — a Yixing teapot crafted from select red clay, celebrated for its quality and simplicity. He was originally part of the antique Yixing wares that belonged to our tea maker’s generational teapot collections.
The O.G. is built on a principle as old as tea brewing itself: with each use, the unglazed interior absorbs a hint of the tea's oils, subtly enriching the flavor of future infusions. This red clay teapot doesn't just make tea; it remembers it, gradually enhancing the richness of each new batch with the character of the last. It's a straightforward approach to deepening your tea's flavor, making the "O.G." not just a teapot, but a companion to your tea journey.

Common Questions
What type of tea is best to brew in a clay teapot?
Clay teapots are great for holding temperature and therefore are best suited for brewing roasted teas or vintage teas to better bring out the depth of flavor (versus glass or porcelain teapots). The clay is porous and the aromatic oils of the teas it brews. As such, we don’t recommend brewing scented or blended teas to avoid flavor transfer.
How do I clean my clay teapot?
Never 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.
