Yixing Zisha Teapot “Lotus Leaf” – Duan Ni (buff clay), 140ml

Description

Introduction

A fully hand-built pot with a lotus-leaf motif on the lid and body. Duan Ni has a pale, sandy texture that suits lighter teas.

Specifications

Craftsmanship

Full handmade: the body is built by hand from flat slabs of clay, beaten into shape on a turntable and finished with hand tools, without a mould. Each piece varies slightly.

Recommended Teas

Green and white teas, light oolongs

Before First Use

Rinse the pot inside and out with hot water, then soak it in clean hot water for a short while and let it dry. Brew and discard a first pot of the tea you plan to use. See our Tea Education article on seasoning a new pot.

Care

Empty the leaves after each session, rinse with clean hot water only (no detergent) and air-dry with the lid off. Ideally dedicate each pot to one type of tea. Handmade items vary slightly in colour and capacity; photos are for reference.
