Chinese Yixing Purple Clay Teapot 230 ml.

Very fine Yixing purple clay teapot holding 230 ml. which makes it perfect for Gongfu brewing. 

The model is known as Longdan 龙蛋 Teapot, also known as "Dragon Egg" due to its shape, with beautiful soft round curves.   

The Yixing clay teapots are known for their ability to "breathe" and absorb aroma from the teas you are brewing - which enhance the flavor over time.   You should therefore allocate a teapot to the more rich Black and Dark teas and another for the lighter Green and White teas.
