For this reason, many collectors dedicate a single teapot exclusively to Liu Bao or another favorite dark tea, allowing both the clay and the tea to develop together over years of brewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e","brand":"Tea and Whisk","offers":[{"title":"Nixing “Lotus Drift” Teapot","offer_id":49974094594291,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nixing \"Solo Casting\" Teapot","offer_id":49974094627059,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Nixing “Lotus Drift II” Teapot","offer_id":49974094659827,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9486\/0322\/files\/71B5BA8B-95E3-445D-BEF5-C2D3B29D2B7D.png?v=1785178093","url":"https:\/\/teaandwhisk.com\/products\/nixing-etched-water-teapot-collection","provider":"Tea and Whisk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
