This classic Jing Lan shaped teapot was fully handmade in Yixing using a mixture of original Yixing Zi Ni clay. The round shape of the body allows your big tea leaves to dance freely, and its small size makes it easy and comfortable to hold in your hand. The teapot is dark brown in color. A 7-hole in-wall filter is built into the pot.

The body of the teapot is carved with a poem in Chinese characters that describes a friendship between two potters as they continually strive to improve their craft. We particularly like the sophisticated look and classic 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 jing lan 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.
