Know before you buy
Long Quan celadon is a historic style of Chinese porcelain known for its thick, jade-like glaze and subtle green hues. This teapot honors that tradition through authentic kiln firing techniques and delicate, hand-carved detailing.
The thin walls allow for faster heat transfer, which is particularly beneficial for delicate green or white teas that require precise temperature control. It also makes the teapot lighter and more elegant to handle during a tea ceremony.
Yes, the multi-hole ball strainer is designed to filter out most tea leaves effectively. It provides a consistent flow while preventing smaller particles from entering your cup.
This is a minor aesthetic flaw resulting from the traditional kiln firing process. It does not affect the structural integrity or the functionality of the teapot, but it is reflected in the item's 'as is' status.
At 180 ml, this teapot is perfectly sized for a personal tea session or serving one to two people. It is a standard capacity for gongfu-style brewing, allowing you to enjoy multiple infusions of high-quality loose-leaf tea.
