The Chinese Tea Company Duan Ni Shi Piao Yixing Teapot

Golden Duan Ni is a porous clay that absorbs the oils and essence of the tea you brew over time. With consistent use, the teapot will 'season,' subtly enhancing the flavor profile and aroma of your favorite leaves.

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

Because Yixing clay absorbs flavors, it is best to dedicate this pot to a single type of tea, such as Oolong, Pu-erh, or Black tea. Using it for multiple, vastly different tea types can lead to 'muddy' flavors.

This teapot was crafted individually by artist Huang Yu without the use of molds or slip casting. Because it is handmade, you may notice slight variations in the finish or shape, which are hallmarks of its authenticity and craftsmanship.

No. This teapot is not designed for direct heat, microwave use, or the dishwasher. It should only be used for brewing tea with hot water poured from a separate kettle.

The integrated 9-hole strainer is designed to provide a smooth, consistent pour while preventing larger leaves from escaping. If you are brewing very fine, broken-leaf teas, you may experience some sediment in your cup.
