Handmade Wen Dan Zi Ni Clay Teapot

Handmade Wen Dan Zi Ni Clay Teapot

$136.00

This small sized (80 ml) teapot was handmade in Yixing using a mixture of original Yixing Zini clay. The clay appears grainy and is an old clay privately stored by the potter. The body is round, allowing your tea leaves to dance freely. The teapot appears dark brown in color and it has a built-in wall filter. We especially like the cute shape and clay of this teapot. Due to the limited clay storage, we won't be able to restock the teapots from the same batch in the future.

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 Wen Dan zi ni 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.
