Minglu Kettle (Chinese Tea Set) is crafted using traditional hand-throwing techniques, resulting in a warm and smooth feel, a delicate body, and a smooth surface.  It offers a comfortable grip and possesses both practical and aesthetic value, as well as collectible appeal. With a capacity of approximately 110 ml, it's a suitable size for various teas, including green tea, black tea, oolong tea, and Pu-erh tea. The spout is smooth and delicate like jade, ensuring an even pour with the tea flowing smoothly without leaving any residue. A unique feature is that during firing in the kiln, various coloring elements in the kiln undergo slight oxidation-reduction reactions with the clay, giving the teapot its distinctive color. Please note: This tea set is fragile; handle with care and store in a cool, dry place to maintain its condition. For any questions, comments, or suggestions, please contact us at dofo@dofotea.com or call +86 18927110833.

Dofo Tea's Philosophy

We Choose Loose Leaf Tea, Always

We never use tea bags because we believe nothing should stand between you and the true character of exceptional tea.

Loose leaves have room to fully expand, releasing their complete flavor, aroma, and natural richness. Watching the leaves gradually unfold is also part of the experience—a small ritual that connects you to the tea and the centuries-old traditions behind it.

It may take a little extra time, but we believe the finest Chinese teas are worth slowing down for.

In today's world of rapid development everywhere, everyone rushes through life. You might as well slow your pace, calm your mind, and use our Gongfu brewing method to craft a cup of high-quality Chinese tea that steadies your breathing. This is all something worth taking the time to experience.

Gongfu Brewing Guide

Here’s our suggested brewing method—you can adjust the tea amount, water volume, temperature, and steeping time to suit your personal taste. For the best experience, we recommend using purified water rather than tap or mineral water. Beginners can start with a regular or simplified brewing method, and if you’re interested in exploring our traditional Gongfu brewing technique, feel free to contact our customer service to book a one-on-one online brewing session.

Frequently asked questions

What defines the design of a Minglu Kettle?

It features a grounded, sturdy design inspired by traditional Chinese stoves or cauldrons, projecting a sense of stability.

What teas are recommended for the Minglu Kettle?

Its structure is excellent for maintaining high temperatures, making it a great choice for brewing Ripe Pu'er and dark, roasted Oolongs.

Does its wider base offer any brewing benefits?

A wider base allows tea leaves to spread out evenly, which can lead to a more balanced and uniform extraction.

How do I maintain its structural integrity?

Avoid sudden temperature changes (like pouring boiling water into a freezing cold pot) to prevent the clay from cracking.

Is the water flow easy to control?

The spout is engineered to complement the sturdy body, generally providing a robust and steady pour.
