Troubleshooting
Tea leaves are coming through the spout
The integrated filter is designed for medium to large-leaf tea. If using very fine tea dust, consider using an additional fine-mesh tea ball or tea bag inside the pot.
The teapot lid feels loose

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using your teapot for the first time, rinse it with warm water to remove any dust from packaging. To ensure longevity, avoid subjecting the ceramic to sudden, extreme temperature changes, such as moving it directly from a cold room to boiling water. While the teapot is robust, it is safest to hand wash it with mild detergent and a soft cloth to protect the decorative polka dot glaze. Avoid using harsh abrasive scrubbers that may damage the surface finish over time.
