Teewald Yixing Duanni Jinglan Teapot

No, this teapot does not feature a traditional metal or mesh filter. It is designed for Gongfu brewing, where the shape of the spout and the precision of the clay work together to manage the flow of tea leaves.

While 280 ml is slightly larger than a standard individual Gongfu pot, it is versatile enough for solo sessions if you prefer a larger serving or for sharing with one or two other people. It provides ample room for the tea leaves to fully expand.

Rinse the teapot with hot water only; never use soap, as the porous clay will absorb the detergent and ruin the flavor of future brews. After each use, empty the leaves and rinse the pot thoroughly, then let it air dry completely with the lid off.
