Know before you buy
The teapot has a capacity of 95ml, which is approximately 3.21 ounces. Please note that there may be a slight variance of plus or minus 10ml due to the handcrafted nature of the porcelain.
Jade Porcelain from De Hua is known for its semi-translucent quality, which allows light to pass through the walls of the pot. Beyond the aesthetic, this material is denser and heavier, providing superior heat retention compared to thinner, standard ceramic wares.
The rounded, bulbous shape of the Dragon Egg is designed to allow tea leaves to unfurl fully, which is essential for proper extraction. Its compact design also helps maintain a consistent internal temperature during the brewing process.
Because of the density of the Jade Porcelain, the teapot will retain heat well. While the handle is designed to stay cooler, the body of the pot will become hot to the touch, so it is best to hold it by the handle or use a tea cloth.
Yes, the non-porous nature of Jade Porcelain makes it a versatile choice. It does not absorb the flavors of the tea, meaning you can switch between different varieties like oolong, green, or black tea without worrying about residual flavor buildup.
