Long Dan Yixing Lao Duan Clay Teapot – 250cc

🫖 Long Dan · Yixing Lao Duan Clay Teapot

The Long Dan Teapot is crafted from authentic Yixing Lao Duan clay, a traditional clay prized for its warm tone and stable, refined texture. Fired using time-honoured methods, the surface presents a soft, natural finish with subtle granularity that reflects the character of aged Duan clay. With regular use, the teapot will gradually develop a gentle patina, enhancing both its visual depth and tactile warmth.

Named “Long Dan” (Dragon Egg), the teapot features a rounded, compact form inspired by balance and completeness. Its smooth curves and harmonious proportions create a calm, grounded presence, making it well suited for both daily tea sessions and quiet moments of focused brewing.

☕ Pouring Performance & Daily Use
Equipped with a traditional 9-hole spout, the teapot delivers a smooth, steady pour with reliable control. The 250cc capacity is ideal for personal use or sharing tea with one or two guests, suitable for oolong tea, pu’er, and other teas that benefit from even extraction and consistent heat retention.

🧱 Material & Craftsmanship
Made from genuine Yixing Lao Duan clay sourced from original mineral deposits, this teapot offers good breathability and heat retention, supporting aroma development and flavour clarity over time. Natural variations in colour and texture may occur during firing, making each piece subtly unique.
