Fortunate Long Life Tea Pot by LuYu

Designed and manufactured by the famous Lu Yu Art Institute in Taipei, Taiwan, the "Fortunate Long Life" tea pot is available exclusively from TenRen. Lu Yu teapots are known for their outstanding attention to the fit and finish of the piece. The teapot has an inner convex sieve which helps to prevent tea leaves from blocking the flow of the tea through the spout. Made from red clay and fired at a higher temperature for high quality, the teapot is ideal for serving semi-fermented teas such as Oolong, King's, Pouchong, and Ti Kuan Yin. Accompanied with a burgandy or blue drawstring pouch, this teapot is also ideal for the mobile connoisseur.

Yixing tea pots such as this one are prized by tea connoisseurs because of the clay's special characteristics. With repeated usage, this pot will acquire its own unique flavor and increased luster and coloring that contributes to the enjoyment of tea. After usage, rinse with hot water and avoid using soap and other scented products that may be absorbed by the clay. This teapot holds about 7.5 fluid ounces (220 ml). It is about 6 inches (15 cm) in length, 3.5 inches (10 cm) in width, and 2 inches (5.5 cm) in height. Shipping weight is 0.98 lbs. Temporarily out of stock.
