Teasenz Pumpkin Yixing Teapot

Duan Ni is a type of purple clay known for its porous nature, which allows it to absorb the oils and flavors of the tea over time. This process, often called 'seasoning,' can enhance the flavor profile of your tea with repeated use.

This teapot is designed for Gongfu-style brewing, which uses a high leaf-to-water ratio. It is best suited for one or two people, as it is intended to produce small, concentrated servings rather than large mugs of tea.

Simply rinse the teapot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb these chemicals and affect the taste of your future brews.

The 7-hole filter is highly effective for most whole-leaf teas, such as Oolong or Puerh. However, if you are brewing teas with very fine particles or broken leaves, you may experience some sediment in your cup.

Because Yixing clay is porous, it is recommended to dedicate one teapot to a single type of tea, such as Puerh, Oolong, or Black tea. Using it for multiple varieties can lead to flavor cross-contamination.
