1 How To Choose a Teapot For Gong Fu Cha by Daniel Lui with L. Eric Dahlberg Serious Gong-Fu Cha enthusiasts spend many hours debating the virtues of their teapots, but there is universal agreement on these four points: The best tea is made in clay teapots and the best teapots are made from clay from the Yixing (Yee-jing) area of China Clay has excellent heat handling properties that significantly improves the taste of tea when compared to tea made in a glass or porcelain teapot. Clay is porous and tea oils build up inside the teapot and over time, actually improve the taste of the tea Use only one teapot for each type of tea. Never make different teas in the same teapot unless they are from the same family or class of teas, such as green teas or oolongs, but even this is not ideal as some teas are highly fermented and in time their strong flavour would transfer to a more delicately flavoured tea Tat Fat (Daniel) Lui All rights Reserved.

3 How To Choose a Teapot For Gung Fu Cha Page 3 THE FOUR MAIN ELEMENTS FOR CHOOSING A TEAPOT Size Shape & Design Quality of Manufacture Quality of Clay Size The first thing to consider when looking for a teapot is to select the right size of teapot to suit the number of people you will be making tea for most of the time. Teapots come in a variety of sizes but for the most part, the sizes are standardized. Here is a handy way to refer to them: Teapot Sizes for Number of People Served Size of Teapot Volume (ml / fl oz) (approximate) Number of People Served #1 size 70 / #2 100 / #3 175 / # / Shopping for teapots can be confusing and the numbers correspond quite well to the number of people being served. If you usually drink tea alone or with one other person, the #2 size for 2 persons would be a good start. If a few more people come over for tea, you can simply make more brews. If you have a favourite tea that you serve often to many guests, consider getting a larger teapot for that tea.
4 How To Choose a Teapot For Gung Fu Cha Page 4 Shape & Design There is a long standing tradition that certain types of tea should be made in certain shapes of teapots. The different shapes allow the different types of tea leaves to expand in their own unique way and maximize their surface area while brewing inside the teapot. There are basically two profiles of teapots; low profile and high profile. Teapot Profile by Type of Tea High Profile Low Profile Most Green/White teas Any tea made with tips Taiwan Oolong (High Mountain Oolong) Pu-Erh Te Guan Yin (Gun Yam, Chinese Oolong, Iron Buddha) Da Hong Pao Phoenix Lap Sang Soo Chong

Notice that all the shapes above follow very simple designs. The reason for the lack of ornamentation is because tea is very sensitive to heat and the best teapots distribute heat evenly. Decorations create different densities in the teapot, which can create hot and cool spots. Another reason is that for Gong Fu Cha, hot water is poured over a teapot during brewing and the water will be deflected by awkward angles, creating further hot and cool spots on the outside of the teapot during brewing. Your teapot will be your friend for many years so make sure there are no cracks or chips. It should have a good weight (which is indicative of a good density of the clay) and good balance, be comfortable in the hand, the handle and lid should fit your fingers, the lid fits precisely in the top opening and the opening
6 How To Choose a Teapot For Gung Fu Cha Page 6 on the top is just large enough to accommodate the size of leaves you will be using. A smaller opening tends to keep the fragrance of tea in the teapot where a larger opening allows the fragrance to escape. So tea with small or rolled leaves and high fragrance will benefit from a smaller opening. A larger opening is better for tea with large leaves and low fragrance. The spout should be large enough to allow the tea to pour freely. Gong Fu Cha develops the taste of tea quickly with fast brew times so the hole of the spout needs to be as large as possible to not constrict the flow of tea being poured, which would make the brew times longer. Check other sized teapots to ensure the spout is proportional to the size of teapot. Many newer teapots come with a strainer built-in. If your teapot does not have a strainer, ask to have one inserted into the spout. Type of Manufacture Clay teapots are made in one of three ways: handmade, half-handmade and molded. Handmade teapots are formed into shape by an artist using a wooden paddle. Half-handmade is a combination of paddling and putting molded pieces together. Molded teapots are a mass-production process of assembling premolded pieces such as the two halves of the teapot and lid and attaching a pre-molded spout and handle. There is a certain pride in owning a handmade teapot, especially if it is made by a famous artist. It can be a collector s item, especially if it is from the 1980 s or 1950 s or even from the Ching Dynasty. Knowing antiques requires highly specialized knowledge so only deal with an expert you can trust. Quality of Clay Making tea is essentially the process of breaking down the cell walls of tea leaves to release the flavour. Gong-Fu Cha is just about doing this in a very controlled way to get the maximum flavour consistently for the maximum number of brews. Too much or too little heat will break down the leaves too quickly or too slowly for the tea you are making and the flavour will be inconsistent. So the quality of the clay which holds and distributes heat is a most important aspect of a teapot. There are 2 basic grades of Yixing clay. The highest grade is unique as it is made from stone, unlike the lower grade of Yixing clay and other clays which are made from mud. It has a higher metal and mineral content including iron oxide, kaolinite, quartz and mica which makes it very strong when fired. Clay has the ability to conduct heat at high temperatures without cracking. Teapots made from more porous clay and are low-fired are made thicker to hold heat longer which is good for teas such as Pu-Erh.
7 How To Choose a Teapot For Gung Fu Cha Page 7 High-fired teapots for teas such as Oolongs and Green/White teas use a denser clay and will cool faster, preventing the tea from cooking in the teapot. Grades of Clay High Quality Yixing Clay Regular Quality Yixing Clay Non-Yixing Clay Low Quality Clay High-Fired Clay Low-Fired Clay MORE THINGS TO CONSIDER Colours & Firing Teapots come in many different colours. In this respect, there are two types: natural colour (which can be mixed to make other colours) and artificial colour. There are also combinations where natural and artificial colours are mixed or overlayed with each other in various combinations. Many low quality teapots use dyes to colour the clay to make them look like higher quality. Natural colour teapots get their colour as a direct result of the clay and firing temperature. High-fired teapots have a reddish to purplish colour and low fired teapots are more brown in colour. This should not be confused with a rare and highly prized Yixing clay called Zisha which is dark purple in colour and produces deep purple teapots. There is also a type of teapot called Zhuni (Ju-lee) which is a deep red colour. These teapots are made over-sized and low fired for a long period of time which shrinks the teapot to size. This process sometimes yields only 60% of the useable teapots out of an entire batch, so they are quite rare and
8 How To Choose a Teapot For Gung Fu Cha Page 8 expensive. These teapots are so fine and dense that the clay is almost like porcelain and you can see fine wrinkles in the clay. The trick is to match the right shape of teapot, type of clay and firing temperature with the right type of tea. High fired teapots are a must for green/white teas and excellent for use with any type of tea except compressed tea such as Pu-Erh, which works best with low-fired teapots that use a thicker and more porous clay. High quality Yixing clay is 3-6 times less absorbant than other clays which helps teapots to retain the fragrance of teas. Xxxx THIS WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO PUT INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TEAPOTS ARE MADE, THE FIRING PROCESS AND HOW THIS AFFECTS THE QUALITY OF TEAPOTS xxxx The Sound of a Teapot High-fired teapots have a clear and distinct ring like a little bell when you lift up the lid about a quarter of an inch and allow it to drop gently on to the teapot (make sure you are holding the teapot on the flat of your hand so it is not damping the teapot in any way). Teapots used for Pu-Erh tea are thick and made from a more porous clay than other teapots and don t have the distinctive bright ringing sound. but this has nothing to do with the quality. These types of teapots are selected by an examination of the clay which usually has a rougher texture than teapots used for other teas. Older teapots have a distinctive shine from the infusion of tea oils and constant use which can dull the pitch. New teapots have a similar shine from a wax coating which protects the clay and makes them look nice on the shelf. (see how to remove this coating below in Seasoning A New Teapot below) Antique teapots have a history (verifiable or not) and have been infused with tea oils over many years. They can give a decided thunk rather than a clear ring because of the accumulation of oils in the clay but can still be of the finest quality. But remember, you are in the antique game now so buyer beware! Clay & Oxygen As tea is extremely sensitive to temperature, it is also sensitive to oxygen which improves the flavour. There is considerable discussion among Gong Fu Cha practitioners about the role that clay as a porous medium plays in oxygenating tea to improve the flavour but I have not attempted to verify this one way or the other. It is also said that high quality Yixing clay is unique in that it allows oxygen to pass in both directions through a teapot; from the inside out and from the outside in, unlike other clays that only
9 How To Choose a Teapot For Gung Fu Cha Page 9 allow oxygen to move in a single direction. This may be because of the high sand content in high quality Yixing clay. Seasoning A New Teapot New teapots come with a wax coating to protect the clay and make them look shiny on the shelf (and also make them look like more expensive antique teapots). This coating must be removed before making tea. Here s how to remove the coating and season the clay: 1. Rinse the teapot in hot water and brush vigorously inside and out with toothpaste (which is gently abrasive) and a toothbrush. Yes you read this right! 2. Put a large pot of water on the stove lined inside with a cloth. The pot should be large enough to completely submerge the teapot 3. Wrap the lid in another cloth and place in the large pot with the teapot. The cloths prevent breakage by stopping the teapot and lid from banging against the sides of the pot and each other when the water is boiling 4. Bring the water to a boil, cover and boil the teapot and lid for 30 minutes 5. After 30 minutes, turn off the heat and allow the water to cool 6. Remove the teapot and lid and rinse thoroughly in warm water 7. Optional - If you really want to season your teapot like a pro, re-fill the large pot with water, bring to a boil and add 2 3 tea-scoops of the tea leaves that you will be using for your teapot. Turn off the heat, cover the pot and steep the leaves for about 30 minutes to make a strong tea. Strain out the leaves and any small particles and return the tea to the pot. Repeat Steps 2 to 6 using this strong tea instead of water. (Straining removes small leaf particles from the water that can clog the pores of the clay and reduce the teapot s effectiveness). 8. Your teapot is now ready to start making tea
10 How To Choose a Teapot For Gung Fu Cha Page 10 Always pour any extra tea you might have over your teapot and give it an occasional polish with a soft dry cloth. This will help to build up the oils allowing your teapot to create its own unique taste and gives the teapot a nice shine. If you should ever decide that you wish to use a teapot for making another type of tea, simply re-season the teapot per the above steps. There may be a break-in period with older pots. Glass & Porcelain Teapots Glass and porcelain teapots are flavour neutral and unlike clay teapots, do not change the taste of tea in any way as their hard surface does not absorb any tea oils and they can be rinsed clean after each use. These are very good for testing and comparing teas. You might want try a new tea in a glass or porcelain teapot before you make it in your clay teapot to compare how your clay teapot is affecting the taste. If you want to save money or are a traditionalist, you can use the traditional Gai Wan which is an inexpensive porcelain pot with a lid and base that comes in many sizes and can be used for all teas. Glass teapots are often used for Green/White and blooming teas as they do not absorb the delicate tea fragrance like clay and you can see the leaves expanding in a pretty display. But a high-fired and high quality clay teapot is still superior and like all clay teapots, improves the taste.
