It is the perfect Chinese tea set for true tea lovers, like the Terza Luna premium selection. The teapots and cups are handcrafted with Yixing terracotta; the favorite of tea lovers for brewing pu erh and oolong teas and for performing the Chinese tea ceremony. The reason lies in their composition and craftsmanship. They are made with clay from Yixing County, Yunnan region, China, which has a high iron content and can withstand high-temperature firings. This makes the teapot porous but durable once finished. Porosity is important because it allows the teapot or cups to "breathe," come into contact with the liquid they contain, and be permeated by it. They are living teapots that evolve with each infusion. Each teapot will contribute its own essence over time. For this reason, it is recommended to use a teapot for each tea category: one for oolongs, one for pu erhs, one for greens, etc.
