All tea types. Ideal when switching between different teas, as porcelain does not retain flavors between sessions.

About

Porcelain teapots are the most versatile brewing vessels, prized for their neutral flavor profile, elegant appearance, and good heat retention. Fine porcelain does not absorb tea oils, making it suitable for different teas without cross-contamination. Jingdezhen porcelain, known as the 'Porcelain Capital' since the Han Dynasty, sets the standard for quality, but fine porcelain teapots are now produced worldwide.
