Handmade Flat Pear Shape Zini Clay Teapot
Handmade Flat Pear Shape Zini Clay Teapot
This neat pear shape teapot was handmade in Yixing using a mixture of original Yixing Zini clay. The body is round, allowing your big tea leaves to dance freely. The narrow and straight spout makes pouring particularly steady/even. It does take a little bit more time to finish pouring than other teapots, making it particularly good for teas that require longer steeping. The teapot appears dark brown in color 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 in turn season it and enhances 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 pear shape zini clay teapot, we recommend you to dedicate it to fermented tea such as ripe puerh, oolong, black tea, etc.
Never wash it with soap or anything else besides water.

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.
