Why use a glass teapot for Chinese tea?

Glass teapots let you watch the tea leaves unfurl and dance — a beautiful part of the tea experience, especially with flowering teas and delicate green teas. Glass is completely neutral, adding no flavor. Heat-resistant borosilicate glass withstands boiling water safely.

Is glass or ceramic better for tea?

Both are excellent. Glass is ideal for visual appreciation and flavor neutrality — perfect for green tea, white tea, and flowering teas. Ceramic (like Yixing clay) absorbs tea oils and enhances flavor over time — ideal for Pu-erh and oolong. Many tea lovers use both depending on the tea type.

Can glass teaware be used for Gongfu ceremony?

Yes. Glass gaiwans and fairness pitchers are popular in Gongfu tea sessions. They allow you to observe the tea liquor color clearly and monitor the steeping process visually. Glass is especially popular for lighter teas where visual appreciation is part of the experience.
