Yixing Paozun Teapot

Duan Ni clay is highly porous and known for its ability to soften the water and enhance the flavor profile of the tea. It is particularly well-suited for lighter teas like green, white, and Raw Pu-Erh, as it allows the leaves to breathe and develop complexity over time.

This teapot is designed for Gongfu-style brewing, which uses a high leaf-to-water ratio and short steeping times. Its 125ml size is ideal for individual sessions or serving one to two people.

As a vintage piece from the 1990s, the lid fit is consistent with its age and artisanal production. While it may not have the airtight seal of a modern precision-engineered teapot, it functions perfectly for traditional brewing.

No, the teapot features a built-in multiple-hole spout designed to act as a natural strainer. It effectively keeps tea leaves inside the pot while allowing for a smooth, consistent pour.

Yixing teapots should only be rinsed with hot water; never use soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb the chemicals and ruin future brews. Simply rinse the pot thoroughly after each use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid removed.

No, this teapot is not compatible with stovetops, microwaves, or induction burners. It is intended strictly for steeping tea with hot water poured from a separate kettle.
