Dragon Root – Ancient Power in Clay

Each piece is handcrafted by skilled artisans in Yixing, blending centuries-old traditions with refined modern minimalism. This approach results in a teapot that not only enhances your tea experience but also serves as a stunning piece of art, celebrating the rich heritage of Yixing clay craftsmanship.

Where Earth Meets the Heavens

Dragon Root is an impressive teapot expertly carved with a vivid dragon motif—an enduring symbol of energy, wisdom, and transformation in traditional culture. Crafted from the deeply speckled duanni clay, this teapot’s deep golden hues evoke images of aged wood or scorched stone, emphasizing its organic, grounded presence while paying homage to the natural origins of Yixing clay. The intricate dragon carvings serve as a reminder of strength and protection, making each brew a meaningful ritual rooted in history and symbolism.

Features & Craftsmanship

  • Constructed from authentic Yixing duanni clay, renowned for its rustic appeal, mineral richness, and exceptional breathability—perfect for developing a seasoned, nuanced flavor profile over time.
  • Capacity of 310ml—ideal for sharing a few cups with friends or enjoying a contemplative, slow-paced solo tea session.
  • The high-relief dragon carvings traverse the entire surface of the body, lid, and handle, imbuing the teapot with a sense of energetic vitality and artistic mastery.
  • Designed with a balanced, low-slung form that ensures excellent thermal retention and effortless pouring, making every use comfortable and satisfying.
  • Each teapot is meticulously hand-formed by master potters in Yixing, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike—each reflects a subtle, unique character born from traditional craftsmanship.
  • For Grounding & Bold Brews

    This yixing teapot excels when brewing darker, fermented teas such as shou pu-erh, aged white tea, or robust black teas. Its thick walls help maintain consistent temperature, allowing the full depth of flavors to develop while rounding out any bitterness. The clay’s natural properties deepen the infusion’s complexity, creating a smooth, well-rounded taste. The striking dragon carvings serve as a visual focus, elevating each pour into a moment of reverence and connection to ancient symbolism.

    Usage & Care

    Starting with a simple rinse before first use helps to prepare the porous duanni clay. Avoid using soap, as it can interfere with the teapot’s natural absorption process. Store the teapot in a dry, airy place between uses to facilitate continued seasoning. Over time, as your teapot absorbs the essence of your favorite teas, it will deepen in color and radiate even more character, further enhancing its role as a treasured piece of tea culture.
