Tea and Whisk Dragon Egg Teapot

Jianshui clay is highly porous and rich in iron, which actively interacts with the tea as it brews. This material helps soften the astringency of bolder teas like puerh and oolong, smoothing out the flavor profile and creating a rounder mouthfeel that glass or glazed ceramic cannot replicate.

Because the clay is porous, it will absorb the oils and aromas of the tea you brew in it over time. We recommend dedicating this vessel to a single category of tea—such as puerh, oolong, or black tea—to avoid muddying the flavors of different varieties.

This capacity is specifically designed for gongfu-style brewing, which uses a higher leaf-to-water ratio and shorter steep times. It is perfectly sized for a solo session or for serving one to two people, allowing you to enjoy multiple infusions without wasting 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 the chemicals and permanently alter the taste of your future brews.

No. Because each vessel is individually handcrafted by artisans, there will be subtle variations in the clay's texture, color, and finish. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the handmade process and do not affect the functionality of the pot.
