Handmade Zhu Ni Lotus Inspired Yixing Teapot
Handmade Zhu Ni Lotus Inspired Yixing Teapot
We love Yixing teapots, especially when the potter creates them with great clay and thoughtful design. This particular teapot is made of Zhuni clay (朱泥). Zhuni clay works great with lightly fermented tea such as Tie Guan Yin, Dong Ding Oolong, and high fragrant black tea including jin jun mei, Lapsang Souchong, etc. The enclosed tight space helps to stimulate the high fragrance of tea.
The design of this teapot is inspired by lotus flowers. The lotus flower symbolizes the heart and mind's ultimate purity because it rises untainted from the water. It blooms delicately with surrounding mud, and it represents a pure and uplifting mindset no matter how terrible the situation is. We feel so peaceful when we look at this teapot, and we want to share the same feeling with you.

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.
