Black Clay Teapot Yixing Dragon Carved Gongfu 300ml

Black Clay Teapot – Yixing Dragon Carved Gongfu Design

A collector’s treasure and a daily brewing companion, this Yixing black clay teapot is crafted from selected raw ore Hei Jin Sha (Black Gold Sand) clay, fired at 1250°C using Republic of China traditional techniques. The striking dragon carving lends this teapot a powerful cultural presence, while its refined functional design makes every pour a pleasure.

Why Yixing Black Clay?

Yixing black clay’s naturally porous, sandy structure absorbs tea aroma continuously during use. After long-term nourishment, even an empty teapot will release a gentle tea fragrance when filled with boiling water — a hallmark of a truly seasoned Yixing vessel. Dedicate this teapot to one type of tea for the richest, most complex flavor development.
