Some collectors of yixing teapots believe that each teapot has a special tea it is meant to be paired with. It is up to the owner to find and pair the right tea for each teapot. If the correct pairing is achieved the rewards can be enjoyed each time the tea is steeped in the teapot. - In the case for this striking teapot I have found that age Long Jing steeps very well and delivers a charming brew that I have not been able to replicate with the same success elsewhere.
