Shaped as perfect as a plum, this partially handmade teapot in Dijon-mustard yellow has a subtle stone fleck in the bisque ware. Yellow, reserved for the emperor class alone, has been crafted here from a very unique version of authentic Duan ni (a combination of purple and green clays).
Duan ni clay has been procured for centuries from only the foothills near Yixing in Jiangsu province. Duan ni clay fires somewhat porous, and with continued use will retain a tea’s oils and essence.
It is widely believed a well-seasoned pot brews the best tea. Therefore, Yixing enthusiasts devote one pot to each type of tea so to not mix flavors.
Yixing teapots are usually more petite than western versions and are specifically designed for Gongfu steeping. The Gongfu method enlists a generous amount of tea with smaller amounts of water for shorter steeping times with multiple brews. Many believe Gongfu steeping extracts a tea’s truest character and its greatest volume for each pot of leaf.
Completely rinse all sand and particles from the interior before first using. Hand-wash with water only (no soap or detergents) and air-dry.
