What customers say
Serious tea enthusiasts highly value the Yixing Duanni Qinhan Teapot for its exceptional quality and performance. Reviewers consistently praise the Duanni clay for its excellent porosity, noting how it quickly seasons to significantly enhance the flavor of aged teas like Puerh. The traditional Qinhan shape is appreciated for its classic aesthetic and comfortable, balanced handling.

Know before you buy
Aged Duanni clay is naturally porous, which allows it to absorb the essential oils and aromas of your tea over time. This process seasons the pot, gradually enhancing the flavor profile of your brews with every use.
The 80 ml volume is specifically designed for Gongfu-style brewing, which focuses on small, concentrated servings. It is ideal for a solo tea ritual or for serving one other person.
The filter is optional and provided for convenience if you prefer a cleaner cup without loose leaves. However, many enthusiasts choose to remove it to allow the tea leaves more room to expand fully within the pot.
Rinse the teapot with hot water only; do not use soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb the chemicals and affect future brews. It is not dishwasher safe, so always hand wash and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off.
Duanni clay is highly versatile and works exceptionally well with Oolong, Pu-erh, and Black teas. Its ability to soften water and round out flavors helps balance the robust or complex notes found in these varieties.
