This round and delicate teapot was handmade in Yixing using a mixture of original Yixing Zini clay. The body is round and flat, allowing your tea leaves to dance freely. The narrow and curvy 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 wall filter. We especially like the double line design and round shape of this teapot.

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 Li Mao shaped zini clay teapot, we recommend you to dedicate it to fermented tea such as ripe puerh, oolong, black tea, etc.
