Dragon Egg Yixing Pot

This pot is a bit larger than our other Yixing pots, holding 8oz., or 250ml. The egg shape is nicknamed "Dragon Egg", an auspicious symbol of trust and good wishes.



Yixing pots are iconic and are known as being the first teapots in the world. The clay is uniquely porous and will "drink" the tea that is made with it, allowing the consecutive steeps to absorb into the clay and enhance future steeps. For this reason, it is recommended that each pot be dedicated to one type of tea to prevent the crossover of other flavors. Over time, your pot will become more seasoned and make each pot of tea more aromatic and flavorful.



To care for your pot, rinse with hot water immediately after each use and allow it to dry completely before applying the lid. Never use soap or abrasives.



It is important to properly care for your pot to ensure its longevity. When you first bring it home, rinse it with hot water and then cold water. This should wash away the clay smell.
