Teewald Yixing Hongni Pear Teapot

Yixing Hongni clay is porous and mineral-rich, which allows it to absorb the oils and aromas of the tea over time. This process helps to soften the water and enhance the flavor profile of your tea with every subsequent brew.

The 120 ml capacity is specifically designed for Gongfu-style brewing, which focuses on small, concentrated servings. It is ideal for one or two people to enjoy multiple infusions of high-quality loose-leaf tea.

Semi-handmade means the teapot is crafted using a combination of traditional manual techniques and molds to ensure consistent shape and structural integrity. This method allows for high-quality craftsmanship while maintaining a precise, functional design.

Yes, it is recommended to season a new Yixing teapot by boiling it in water with a small amount of the tea you intend to brew in it. This removes any residual clay dust and helps the pot begin its seasoning process.

It is best to dedicate this teapot to one specific type of tea, such as Oolong or Pu-erh. Because the clay is porous, it will retain the character of the tea brewed in it, and switching varieties can lead to muddy or conflicting flavors.

Simply rinse the teapot with hot water and wipe the exterior with a soft cloth. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb the chemicals and permanently alter the taste of your future brews.
