What makes a handmade teapot better than mass-produced?

Handmade teapots offer superior craftsmanship: precise lid fit, balanced proportions, clean pouring, and unique aesthetic character. Each piece is shaped by hand, meaning slight variations make every teapot one-of-a-kind. Factory teapots cannot match the attention to clay selection, firing control, and artistic expression of a manual maker.

How to choose the right teapot size?

For solo Gongfu brewing: 80-120ml is ideal. For 2-3 people: 150-200ml. For 4+ people: 250-300ml. Smaller pots concentrate flavor better and are preferred for premium teas. The tea-to-water ratio matters more than pot size — use 5-8g per 100ml for Gongfu style.
