Teewald Yixing Duanni Hulu Teapot

Duanni clay is highly porous, which allows it to retain the heat necessary for brewing fermented teas like Pu-erh and black tea. Over time, the clay absorbs the oils from these teas, which helps to mellow out harsh notes and improve the flavor profile of your brew.

No, this teapot does not require an external filter. It is designed for traditional brewing where the leaves are placed directly into the pot, allowing them to expand fully and release their flavor.

Rinse the teapot with hot water only; avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb the chemicals and ruin the flavor of future brews. After use, simply empty the leaves and let the pot air dry completely.

Yes, because the clay is unglazed, it will gradually develop a lustrous patina as it absorbs tea oils. This process is a hallmark of high-quality Yixing teaware and adds to the aesthetic value of the piece over time.

Semi-handcrafted means the teapot is created using a combination of mold-shaping and manual finishing by skilled artisans. This ensures a consistent shape and functional lid fit while retaining the unique character and tactile quality of handmade pottery.
