Know before you buy
Zhuni clay is less porous than other Yixing clays, which helps it retain the high-toned aromatics and delicate floral nuances of oolong teas rather than absorbing them into the walls of the pot.
No, this teapot does not require an external filter. The spout is designed to pour cleanly, making it ideal for brewing whole-leaf teas.
The Dezhong shape is a classic, balanced silhouette that provides ample room for tea leaves to expand fully, ensuring an even extraction of flavor.
Simply rinse the teapot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the clay is porous and will absorb those scents, which can affect future brews.
This 180ml capacity is best suited for single servings or intimate sessions for two. It is designed for Gongfu-style brewing, where you steep smaller amounts of tea multiple times.
