Hetao Yixing Teapot — Handcrafted Duanni Clay, 200ml | Gift Set

Hetao — The Walnut

Round, warm, and satisfying in the hand — the Hetao teapot takes its name and its spirit from the walnut: a form that is complete, unpretentious, and deeply pleasing to hold. Handcrafted from raw Duanni clay (原矿段泥), it arrives as a complete gift set, ready to present or treasure.

The silhouette is gently rounded and grounded — a pot that sits quietly on the tray and invites you to slow down. At 200ml, it is perfectly sized for an intimate solo or two-person gongfu session, with an internal ball-filter spout that pours cleanly and without effort.

About Duanni Clay

Duanni (段泥) is one of Yixing’s most visually distinctive clays — a naturally pale, warm-toned material that fires to a creamy beige with subtle mineral variation across the surface. No two pieces look exactly alike.

Its relatively neutral character makes it a versatile brewer: it doesn’t impose on the tea, allowing the leaf’s natural aroma and sweetness to come through clearly. With use, the surface develops a gentle warmth and soft sheen — understated, but unmistakably alive.

“The walnut doesn’t need to announce its worth. You feel it the moment it’s in your hand.”
