Teewald Yixing Duanni Teapot Dezhong

Duanni clay is highly porous, which allows it to absorb the oils and aromas of your tea over time. This seasoning process helps to mellow out the flavor profile of your brews, making it an excellent choice for darker, more robust teas.

While you can use it for any tea, this teapot is specifically optimized for Pu-erh and Oolongs. Because Yixing clay retains the flavor of the tea brewed in it, it is best to dedicate this pot to one type of tea to avoid cross-contamination of flavors.

Half-handmade means the body of the teapot was shaped using a mold, while the spout, handle, and lid were crafted and attached by hand. This process ensures a consistent, functional shape while maintaining the artisanal character of traditional Yixing ware.

This model does not feature a traditional metal mesh filter. Instead, it uses a clay-formed spout design that acts as a natural strainer, which is standard for traditional Gongfu-style teapots.

Never use soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb them and ruin future brews. Simply rinse the teapot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry thoroughly with the lid off.

Yes, 175 ml is an ideal size for solo Gongfu sessions or for serving two people. It provides enough volume for multiple infusions without requiring an excessive amount of tea leaves.
