Purple Clay Tea Washer Black Stripes Gongfu Tea

Purple Clay Tea Washer — Black Stripes Gongfu Tea

An often-overlooked essential of the gongfu tea ceremony, the tea washer is where every session truly begins. This black stripes purple clay tea washer is crafted from quality zisha (purple clay) — a material prized for its natural porosity and heat retention — and serves three critical roles in your tea ritual: rinsing, sterilizing, and preheating.

How to Use

1. Warm & Rinse: Place your gongfu tea cups in the washer and pour boiling water over them to warm and sterilize before use — ensuring the cleanest, purest first sip.
2. Disinfect: For cups stored between sessions, a brief soak in boiling water in the washer removes residue and disinfects without harsh cleaning agents.
3. Preheat: A warmed tea set retains heat longer and brings out the full depth of flavor in your tea — the higher the temperature of your set, the better the taste.
