Duan Ni Clay Yixing Teapot

Material

This Yixing teapot is made by using duan ni clay. Duan Ni clay is rich in minerals that react with the tea to improve smoothness and taste, and it is Excellent at maintaining heat to get a consistent brewing temperature. Yixing duan ni clay teapot is suitable for brewing lighter types of tea. Over time brewing tea gives the teapot a highly pleasing lush taste like it is telling a story of its tea journey.

Yixing Zisha clay is valued largely due to its porous nature of the clay. As you use it, oils from your tea enter the pot, which can in turn season it and enhances the tea you brew with it over time. For this reason, we recommend dedicating your new Yixing teapot to one type of tea only， and never washing it with soap or anything else besides water.

Pattern

The duan ni clay teapot is decorated with a hand-engraved plum blossom design that extends to the lid of the teapot. The plum blossom has been an important symbol in Chinese culture. As a “friend of winter”, the plum blossom most vividly represents the value of endurance, as life ultimately overcomes through the vicissitude of time.
