A terracotta teapot for aromatic, nuanced infusions
Yixing "Longdan" handmade Chinese teapot - ochre (yellow clay - benshang duani) - approx. 25 cl (250 ml). Delivered in a luxurious fabric pouch inside a padded box with clasp.
Made entirely by hand from yellow "benshan duani --本山段泥" clay, this "longdan -龙蛋" teapot adopts the highly prized dragon egg shape.

The large capacity of this teapot means it can be used to brew for several people as part of a gong fu cha.
