Tea Pot

Teapots should be small and not too large. A smaller pot increases the longevity of the tea's fragrance, while a larger one may decrease it. A teapot that holds half a liter is recommended. For personal use, the smaller the teapot, the better.

---- Commentaries on Tea by Ci Shu Xu (1549～1604)

茶注宜小，不宜甚大。小则香气氤氲，大则易于散漫。大约半升，是为适可。独自斟酌，愈小愈佳。
