Fully Handmade Shu Fang Aged Zi Ni Clay Teapot
Fully Handmade Shu Fang Aged Zi Ni Clay Teapot
This teapot was fully handmade by a master potter in Yixing using aged zi ni clay. The clay was stored for more than 10 years before the potter put it to use. The shape features a square mouth design and a curvy edge, creating a nice contrast. The round size provides enough room for your tea leaves to dance freely. The clay feels exceptionally smooth, and we especially like the shape design. It has a noble and very cute look. The teapot appears in chocolate color, and it has a built-in ball filter.
Aged zini clay is high in iron components, and its dual porosity structure makes it suitable for air convection when brewing tea. As you use it, oils from your tea moisturize the pot, which can season it and enhance 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 shu fang shape aged zini clay teapot, we recommend you to dedicate it to fermented tea such as ripe puerh, oolong, black tea, etc.

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.
