Dragon Kiln
Unlike firing teapots in industrial ovens, firing in dragon kilns is more challenging due to higher temperatures and a more volatile environment. Thus, only teapots made from high quality clay will not crack when being fired in the oven. Moreover, Dragon Kiln fired teapots have superb heat retention, a beautiful, Instagram proof surface, and better breathability.
Yixing artist: Lanzhen Su
This teapot is made by certified artist Lanzhen Su. A certificate of authenticity is included and the teapot is shipped inside a strong gift box.
Shi Piao teapot style
There are many different shapes of Yixing teapots. ‘Shi Piao’ teapots are one of them, and literally means ‘stone ladle’. Classic Shi Piao teapots have a small opening and a wide bottom. As a result, the body is like a trapezoid with the spout and handle at both sides at exactly the same height. This Shi Piao teapot somewhat differs due to its high-profile shape.
Which teas are suitable?
Compared to other Yixing teapots, this Duanni teapot is heavier and denser. While the teapot is suitable for any tea, we highly recommend it for teas that need to be prepared at high temperature. The wider bottom also makes it more suitable steeping larger tea leaves, and allow them to fully unfurl.
Medium size Yixing teapot 210ml
This teapot holds about 210ml of water, which classifies it at a medium size. You may use it to enjoy tea yourself or invite 1-2 friends.

How to Steep
How to Steep

Our design work is inspired by the artwork “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” by the Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty. Instead of displaying the daily lives of people in the capital of China (as the original artwork), we display the tea making process of farmers through the same bird’s eye perspective.
When examining our packaging design in detail, tea enthusiasts will observe the tea making process, featuring tea farmers picking, drying, rolling, and frying tea leaves. The tea is then tasted in a pavilion and transported by horses along the ‘ancient tea road’.
Together, the traditional Chinese landscape and tea making theme, symbolise heritage, tradition, and respect for hard work of tea farmers.
