Handmade Gu Jing Wen Zi Ni Clay Teapot
Handmade Gu Jing Wen Zi Ni Clay Teapot
This baby-sized (60 ml) teapot was handmade in Yixing using a mixture of original Yixing Zini clay. The body is round, allowing your tea leaves to dance freely. The around spout makes pouring particularly steady/even. The round and wide spout create a nice contrast to the delicate and thin handle. The teapot appears dark brown and it has a built-in ball filter.
Zini clay is high in iron components, and its dual porosity structure makes it good for air convection when brewing tea. As you use it, oils from your tea moisturize the pot, which can season it and enhance the flavor of the tea that you use it with over time. For this reason, we recommend dedicating your new Yixing teapot to one type of tea only. Particularly for our Gu Jing Wen zi ni clay teapot, we recommend you to dedicate it to fermented tea such as ripe puerh, oolong, black tea, etc.

Additional Information:
It’s food safe, of course. I strongly recommend that you wash it only with water, and use it gently. Please do not use soap to wash or rinse your pot because it might also absorb the scent from the soap. You can also use a bamboo handle brush to gently wipe away excess water during and after using any porous clay pots (Yixing, Jianshui) to help ensure it develops an even finish.
