Moon Drop – Stillness in Every Curve

Each piece is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans in Yixing, renowned for its centuries-old tradition of creating functional art. This teapot seamlessly combines time-honored craftsmanship with elegant modern minimalism, offering a truly profound tea experience rooted in authenticity. The natural qualities of Yixing purple clay (zisha) allow the teapot to develop a unique patina over time, enhancing the depth and complexity of your tea rituals. Whether you seek a serene moment alone or a shared ritual with others, Moon Drop embodies a harmonious balance of form and function, elevating every tea session with a touch of artistry and mindfulness.

Balanced Beauty in a Low Profile

Moon Drop embraces a low, rounded silhouette that gently evokes the reflection of a quiet moon resting on still water. Its wide stance and soft shoulders create a stable foundation, ensuring an even heat distribution for optimal brewing. The teapot's understated elegance invites a focused, meditative approach to your tea rituals—encouraging slow, meaningful moments that deepen your connection with each pour. The simple yet refined design complements a variety of settings, standing as a testament to the beauty of understated craftsmanship and timeless appeal.

Features & Craftsmanship

  • Authentic Yixing purple zisha clay — recognized for its porous, unglazed surface that absorbs the flavors of your tea, enhancing each brew with continued use
  • 190ml capacity — ideally suited for personal or intimate tea rituals, allowing for a mindful, uncluttered brewing process
  • Flattened circular body — designed to provide superior heat retention and aromatic concentration, ensuring the nuanced qualities of your teas are fully expressed
  • Classic button lid with integrated multi-hole filter inside the spout — facilitates easy handling, precise pouring, and effective separation of leaves from brewed tea
  • Handmade in Yixing using traditional shaping and kiln-firing techniques — a true artisan piece that echoes a long legacy of master craftsmanship, making every Moon Drop teapot a unique expression of cultural heritage
  • Gongfu Brewing with Grounded Calm

    Perfectly suited for aged teas like pu-erh or roasted oolongs, the Moon Drop enhances the complexity of each infusion while mellowing out any bitterness. Its broad base encourages even steeping, maximizing flavor extraction and aromatic development. The gentle curve of the spout allows for a smooth, controlled pour, making it ideal for those who appreciate a calm, focused approach to their tea rituals. Whether used during a peaceful morning or a reflective evening, this teapot cultivates a sense of grounded tranquility that deepens your appreciation for the art of brewing and the subtle beauty of each leaf.

    Care Guide

    To preserve the integrity of your Yixing purple clay teapot, rinse thoroughly with boiling water before first use and avoid using soap or detergents, which can interfere with the clay’s natural porosity. As your Moon Drop ages with use, the clay will develop a subtle sheen—a sign of seasoned pores that enhance flavor absorption and brewing performance. Regularly drying the teapot after rinsing and storing it in a well-ventilated place ensures it remains in optimal condition, allowing your tea rituals to evolve organically and beautifully over time.
