Description

This beautifully detailed teapot form a dragon with his mouth as the tea spout. On a Yixing teapot, the dragon symbolizes power and strength. And when designed this beautifully, it engenders conversation. Made from Yixing clay, this teapot will season over time and enhance the flavors of your favorite tea. For this reason, it should be used on only one type of tea. This is a larger Yixing teapot that holds 8oz of water.

Beautiful Yixing Dragon

By Jenny

About Me High-End Shopper, Tea Enthusiast

Pros

  • Unique teapot

Cons

  • Breakable

Best Uses

  • For one type of tea

I've been looking at the yixing pots for awhile, and I purchased both the winter and the sea dragon tea pots. I bought both online; this one arrived in perfect condition, the other's horn ends have bits off.

Unlike the other reviewer, I found that this one pours perfectly, much better than my tetsubin. Since these are handmade of clay, it stands to reason that there will be some variation in the spout and other features as well.

This yixing pot does not come with a strainer, so you will want to use something else to brew the tea. I brew my tea in a gaiwan separately, and fill it with three steepings worth to use it as a "fairness pitcher." You can also use a tea ball or place the leaves in directly.

Remember that the yixing pots season over time, so you want to use one kind of tea. I use this one exclusively for tie guan yin (monkey picked oolong).

Nice Tea Pot

Pros

        This is a very nice Winter Dragon Tea Pot. I also have a tea pot warmer which does no damage to it. The only concern I have is the way how the tea spout is made, after pouring your cup of tea the tea tends to drip down the spout after your done pouring it so you have to pour it in a certain way to avoid that from happening. Other than that it is a unique tea pot a lot of my friends like it and I will always use this Tea Pot to brew my tea's!!
