How to use the new Yixing Zisha clay teapot?

Yixing tea sets are mainly used for making black and oolong teas, as well as aged Puerh tea. They can also be used for green or white tea, but the water must be allowed to cool to around 85 °C (185 °F) before pouring the water into the pot. Yixing tea set absorbs a tiny amount of tea into the pot during brewing. You had better use the Yixing teapot set for steeping only one type of tea, so as not to corrupt the flavour that has been absorbed.
