Each piece is meticulously handcrafted by artisans in Yixing, where centuries-old techniques blend seamlessly with contemporary design. This craftsmanship results in teapots that not only serve a functional purpose but also embody an aesthetic that is both timeless and modern. The carefully curated details and refined minimalism ensure a profound tea experience that elevates your daily ritual, making each brewing moment special.

Where Function Meets Warmth

Morning Grain captures the rustic soul of Yixing in an elegant, everyday shape that speaks to both tradition and refinement. Its gently swelling body provides a comfortable grip, while the distinctive curved handle not only enhances aesthetics but also offers ergonomic comfort, allowing for a seamless pouring experience—evoking the rising sun over golden fields. Crafted from Yixing duanni (light zisha clay), this 210ml teapot boasts a natural porosity that enhances tea flavors by allowing subtle absorption and airflow, transforming your daily tea rituals into a harmonious sensory journey. The combination of traditional materials and thoughtful design underscores its status as a versatile and meaningful addition to any teapot collection.

Features & Craftsmanship

  • Handcrafted from authentic Yixing duanni (light zisha) clay–a material celebrated for its breathable properties and natural beauty, which deepens in hue and character with use
  • 210ml capacity—ideal for solo brewing or sharing with close friends, supporting a mindful and intimate tea experience
  • Graceful round body paired with an expressive upward-curving curved handle—ergonomically designed for comfortable pouring and balanced handling
  • Integrated multi-hole strainer beneath the spout—ensuring a smooth, controlled pour while trapping tea leaves effectively
  • Formed, finished, and fired entirely in Yixing’s renowned pottery region, embodying the essence of traditional craftsmanship and regional artistry
  • A Versatile Ritual Companion

    Designed with lighter teas in mind, such as green, white, and floral oolongs, this teapot ensures a clean and stable brew that highlights delicate flavors and aromas. Over time, the unglazed surface absorbs subtle tea scents and deepens in color, creating a unique patina that becomes intimately connected to your tea practices. Its natural texture not only enhances tactile pleasure but also acts as a visual marker of your evolving tea journey, adding a layer of personal storytelling to each cup.

    Care Instructions

    Prior to first use, rinse thoroughly with hot water to prepare the porous clay. It is recommended to avoid detergents or dishwashers to preserve the natural breathability and finish of the yixing zisha material. Store the teapot in a dry, uncovered place to facilitate proper air circulation, allowing the clay to breathe and develop its characteristic patina. Regular use enriches the clay’s appearance and flavor absorption, offering a truly personalized touch to your frequent tea rituals.
