What customers say
This Yixing teapot garners praise for its exquisite craftsmanship and authentic Shuimo polishing, resulting in a rich color and smooth, substantial feel. Tea enthusiasts value the superior heat retention of the Yixing clay, noting its ability to enhance Oolong and Pu-erh flavors, confirming functional excellence. The gold mounting is largely seen as a luxurious accent elevating the piece to collectible art.

Overall, the teapot is celebrated as a masterpiece, though its premium price point slightly impacts the perceived value for those focused purely on brewing utility.
Know before you buy
With a density rating of 8/10, this ceramic is less porous than standard clay. This makes it highly versatile, as it won't retain the flavors of previous brews as strongly as more porous Yixing clays, allowing you to switch between different tea types more easily.
This teapot is designed for Gongfu-style brewing, which focuses on small, concentrated infusions. It is ideal for a solo tea session or for serving one to two people in small tasting cups.
While the teapot does not have a built-in filter, the single-hole spout is designed for precision pouring. If you are brewing loose-leaf teas with small particles, you may want to use a separate tea strainer over your cup to ensure a clear pour.
This teapot is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the Shuimo polished finish and gold accents, rinse it with warm water after each use and wipe the exterior gently with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh soaps or abrasive scrubbers.
No, this teapot is not designed for direct heat. It should not be used on a stovetop, in a microwave, or on an induction burner. It is intended strictly for steeping tea with hot water poured from a separate kettle.
