Teewald Yixing Hongni Junde Teapot

Yixing Hongni clay is porous and known for its ability to absorb the oils and flavors of the tea brewed within it. Over time, the pot develops a unique 'seasoning' that enhances the depth and character of the specific tea types you brew.

This teapot is designed for Gongfu tea brewing, where the leaves are typically steeped for short durations. Because the leaves are large and the spout is precisely engineered, they naturally stay inside the pot during the pour without the need for a metal mesh filter.

It is recommended to dedicate this pot to one specific category of tea, such as Oolong or Pu-erh. Because the clay is porous, it will retain the aromatics of previous brews, which could interfere with the flavor profile if you switch between very different tea types.

Never use soap or detergents, as the clay will absorb these chemicals. Simply rinse the pot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry thoroughly with the lid off.

The 110 ml capacity is specifically sized for Gongfu-style brewing, which focuses on multiple short infusions rather than a single large cup. It is perfect for one or two people to enjoy several rounds of tea in a single session.

No, this teapot is not compatible with stovetops, microwaves, or induction burners. It should only be used for steeping tea by pouring hot water from a separate kettle into the pot.
