Handmade Yixing Carved De Zhong Teapot
Handmade Yixing Carved De Zhong Teapot
Handmade by a potter from Yixing, China. This De Zhong shape Yixing teapot is fully handmade using Qing Shui Ni clay. Qing Shui Ni clay (清水泥） is a type of Zini clay （紫泥） as well.
Zisha (紫砂) clay from Yixing is highly valued because of the porous nature of the clay. 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, such as ripe puer, raw puer, oolong, black tea, etc, and 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.
