Golden Duanni Clay - This pot CHANGES everything!

If you are looking for a pot that turns every tea into an easy-drinking session then look no further than this Golden Duanni Zisha from Yixing. I am amazed at how sweet, soft and thick every tea becomes - it literally changes everything that you put in from Japanese Greens to Blacks and PuErh.

I purchased it…so excited to add it to my collection. Thank you for your in-depth review videos. I have purchased my ENTIRE tea collection of pots, cups, trays and teas from you over the past 3 years when I became a tea head …due to ALL your educational videos. I hope you never stop producing. Thank you. BTW…I really miss Celine, please tell hello.

Empress Oolong is actually my favourite oolong tea, I am excited to taste the new batch.

Think we need a masterclass discussing the types of Duanni!

[TomTheAustrian]

Definitively need to have one. Please restock a few!

[tommygun]

it’s quarter past midnight and i am happy to see don teadrunk and talk about his experience considering these clays🙃

Another Saturday tea sesh with the man!

I was looking at this pot earlier, but its a little too big for me at 160ml.
I did get my order with my little 70ml pot I got from you guys. Thanks Mei Leaf team!!

My mom is getting the 'Connections' Duanni pot for me as a Christmas gift after I broke my favorite/first yixing pot a few months ago.
This video has me so excited to explore this clay🤍

I have a Duanni dedicated to aged white teas

[mattluck]

Uh oh. Looks I have to make room on my teapot shelf 😂 This might be a great pot to use as an intro to most tea types for friends that don't drink tea regularly.

Really interesting pot. I feel the same way about the porosity/sweetening/easy seasoning. The thing is because it's so porous, wouldn't it turn out to be a messy seasoning to brew all types of tea? It's something to look into if selected as an all-star.

LOL
22:11 Don says he "thinks this is a very porous pot" and then the camera switches and you physically watch a dribble of tea soak right in and vanish completely.

8:21 😄 the „Wonder Pot“ … and it probably is. I have a pot made from lüni that seems to be the cousin of your golden duanni. Only I feel, instead of „punching a hole through“ the flavour notes you mentioned, it punches the spikier flavours of any tea into a sweet, soft dumpling. 😁 There’s so far only one tea type which I’ve found will absolutely not agree with my lüni pot, and that is very pure and fresh sheng. It’s as if the two kinds of sweetness – the pot’s and the tea’s – were at war with each other. Also, I’ve not yet dared to try it with teas that are too dissimilar or which stick out a lot, like shu puerh, because the pot definitely hands on some residue of one session to the next. — Not to forget: I also found your remarks on the transparency of the clay’s minerals and its impact on yan cha very instructive. Thanks for another lucid mini tutorial there. Btw, why have you been looking at the lid around 14:22 before you poured?

[joetexas]

Don- you should do some before/after ph tests! Simple paper tests maybe? My guess is the clays move the ph to a slightly higher (less acidic) level.

Just bought the connections pot. Flavor transformation seems to be what I am looking for.

I've been trying to convert regular sheng pu drinkers to use Jiangponi. It does work like magic, I used to think that Zhuni or Zini will preserve the high notes while porous clays are too muting. Turns out that reality is different from so-called "theory". Once well seasoned, Jiangponi does not mute good sheng. On the other hand, Zhuni and Zini can overcook or steam the leaf and result in burned taste, which covers over those delicate notes.

[deividrico]

I am eagerly waiting for the restock. I am mad at myself for not grabbing it when I had the chance😭

[nmk]

Very cool, but would like to see a fully handmade one in the mei leaf collection ;))

btw, any update on that Jianshui pot you were testing out?

[smilebot]

So what’s the best general purpose teapot for primarily oolong and puer.

[NoelleLocke]

Any word on when you guys are going to get more Duanni tea pots in? I'm dying to get myself a pot!
