Handmade Zi Ni Clay Si Ting Teapot
Handmade Zi Ni Clay Si Ting Teapot
This delicate and classic Si Ting shape teapot was handmade in Yixing using a mixture of original Yixing Zini (Hong Qing Shui) clay. It features a neat and curvy body and a pagoda-like top, and its small size makes it easy and comfortable to hold in hand. The teapot appears dark brown in color.
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 Si Ting 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.
