New Yixing Teapots have arrived this week, including both Benshan Duanni and Dicaoqing clay teapots! Our partners in Yixing and Jingdezhen have returned to work. More new teaware and restocking of old favourites coming soon!

Shipping times have returned to normal since the beginning of this week. We are processing orders as usual and they are being shipped out through China Post and China Customs as usual.
Regarding concerns about ordering from China: 1) China Post and China Customs in Guangdong have both resumed normal operations. 2) There is little-to-no risk of contracting the virus from parcels as the virus cannot survive long on surfaces. There haven't been any cases connected to imported goods from China.

This year will be the first time we order a custom mould for our own line of half-handmade Yixing Teapots! Click on our blog post below to take a look at the design in progress for our teapot from Lin Hanpeng:

I've read different sources that say duanni clay is the best for shou puerh tea. I've also read some of your blog posts on the website so I'm thinking of maybe buying one of the 'Lengjinhuang Duanni Hanwa' pots (for shou puerh). Would it be possible to give some more information? Like the age of the clay and why it's so good for shou because I've never had a duanni pot before.

I didn't really know where to ask this question so I guess this thread is a good place to start.

@Tea Adventures „ Like other duanni, it is favoured for rounding out the harsher notes of some teas. It is very porous compared to other zisha and is better at retaining heat.“ You have your answer right there in the blog entry

Rounding out unwanted things and retain heat well, both good attributes for the Puerh you want to drink. 130ml is a good volume as well and the large opening is practical to put in chunks of Puerh.
