Know before you buy
Duanni clay is highly porous, which allows the teapot to absorb the essential oils of the tea over time. This process seasons the pot, gradually enhancing the flavor profile and aroma of the specific tea types you brew.
This teapot is ideal for robust teas like Pu Erh, black teas, and oolongs. Because the clay retains the character of the tea, it is best to dedicate this pot to one specific category of tea to avoid flavor cross-contamination.
Never use soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb the chemicals and ruin the flavor of your tea. Simply rinse the teapot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry thoroughly with the lid off.
Yes, the teapot will develop a beautiful, lustrous patina as it absorbs oils from your tea and is handled. This is a natural aging process that adds character and value to the piece.
It is designed for both. While its artistic craftsmanship makes it a beautiful decorative piece, it is fully functional and intended for brewing single servings of tea.
No, this teapot is not compatible with stovetops, microwaves, or dishwashers. It should only be used for brewing tea with hot water poured from a separate kettle.
