💡 STOA Tip
Use it for gongfu-style tea and dedicate it to one tea type — green, oolong, or pu-erh — to preserve its essence. Preheat with hot water, pour slowly, and observe the ritual with presence. Over time, the teapot’s clay will deepen in color and aroma — a living record of every ceremony. Pair with a neutral wooden or ceramic tray for a serene and timeless composition.
