How do I season my Yixing teapot?

Because Yixing teapots are so porous and tend to absorb flavor quickly, we recommend dedicating a pot to a particular type of tea, seasoning it and never making another type of tea in it. To season a pot, place a towel in a pot of boiling water and put the teapot (the lid also but not on the teapot) on top of the towel to prevent the teapot from chipping as the water boils. Cover and cook on medium heat for an hour. Put a handful of tea (of the best quality you have, its a bad ideas to skimp when seasoning a teapot, as using the best tea now will improve the taste of your cheaper teas later on) in the pot and in the teapot, cover and cook for another hour or so. Air dry. You can buff it when dry with eyeglass cleaning cloths from your local optometrist.
