Before you use your Yixing clay pot for the first time, we recommend that you “birth” it. Birthing your pot will purify it and remove any residual sediment of clay . It will also infuse the porous Yixing clay with the essence and oils of the tea leaves and initiate the seasoning process...Preparing it for a lifetime of service.
- Rinse your pot in clean (not tap) water
- Place your Yixing pot, with the lid beside it, into a stainless steel pot
- Put a few tea leaves (the type that you plan on brewing in this pot) into and around the pot and lid
- Pour boiling water into the pots until the lid and pot are fully immersed. This is like a baptism for your pot... A perfect time to bless it
- Steep the pot in the tea leaves overnight (about 12 hours)
- Take the pot out and allow it to air dry naturally at room temperature
If you have a Yixing clay tea set, we recommend that you birth the cups, as well. You can birth the pots and the cups together, if you have a pot that is big enough to hold all of them. |
