Handcrafted from Yixing Zini (紫泥) clay, this teapot takes its form from the classic Longdan (龙蛋, “Dragon Egg”) shape. Its full, rounded body and smooth continuous curves create a simple yet graceful silhouette inspired by the auspicious form of a dragon’s egg.
The naturally porous Zini clay offers excellent heat retention and gradually develops a richer, warmer character with continued tea brewing. The rounded body also provides generous interior space for tea leaves to fully unfurl.
Finished with a traditional multi-hole filter and artisan seals, this Longdan teapot brings together classic Yixing craftsmanship, balanced proportions, and understated elegance—an inviting piece for both everyday brewing and collecting.
Material: Yixing Zini Clay Shape: Longdan (龙蛋 / Dragon Egg) Style: Traditional, rounded & elegant Best for: Dark Oolong, Shou Pu-erh, black tea, and other richly aromatic teas
