Yunnan Sourcing Tea Shop Porcelain Dragon Egg Teapot

This teapot is designed primarily for solo sessions or brewing for two people using small, traditional cups. Its 95ml capacity is ideal for gongfu-style brewing, where you steep leaves multiple times rather than serving a large volume at once.

No, this porcelain is non-porous and neutral, meaning it will not absorb or alter the flavor profile of your tea. It is an excellent choice if you want to brew a wide variety of teas in the same vessel without worrying about flavor carryover.

The rounded, spherical shape of the Dragon Egg allows tea leaves to unfurl fully and circulate freely as they steep. This shape also helps maintain a consistent internal temperature, which is crucial for extracting the nuanced flavors of high-quality loose-leaf tea.

While it is crafted from fine, semi-translucent porcelain, it is high-fired for durability. It is sturdy enough for daily use, provided you handle it with the care you would give any fine ceramic piece.

Simply rinse the teapot thoroughly with hot water after each session and let it air dry with the lid off. Avoid using soap or abrasive scrubbers, as porcelain can absorb scents and the surface can be scratched.
