This Fei Yun (flying through clouds) shape teapot was handmade in Yixing, China using original Yixing Jiang Po Ni clay. Jiang Po Ni is a type of paragenic clay. The original clay mineral contains Duan clay, Red Clay (Hong Ni), Purple clay (Zi Ni) and other paragenic clays. So this special clay integrates much goodness of other clays. Jiang Po Ni features an oil/moisturized dark brown appearance, and the granules of the clay look similar to a pear’s skin. Jiang Po Ni has very good air penetrability, and it’s very conducive to tea steeping. It won't over brew the tea leaves and bring unpleasant stewed flavor to your tea.

The body of this teapot is flat and round allowing your big tea leaves to dance freely, and its small size makes it easy and comfortable to hold in hand. And built into the teapot is a 7-hole in-wall filter.

Jiang Po Ni clay from Yixing is highly valued because of its porous nature. As you use it, oils from your tea moisturize the pot, which over time can enhance the flavor of the tea that you brew in it. For this reason, we recommend dedicating your new teapot to one type of tea only, such as ripe puer, raw puer, oolong, black tea, etc, and never wash it with soap or anything else besides water.
