Handmade Jianshui Mini Tea Jar
Handmade Jianshui Mini Tea Jar
Handmade by a potter from Yunnan, China, this black tea jar is made from 100% Jianshui purple clay. Purple clay ("zitao" in Chinese) actually comes in five colors: purple, red, white, yellow and green. And this tea jar is made from naturally occurring black clay. The interior of this tea jar is not glazed.
We particularly like the miniature size of this tea jar. It fits perfectly on a tea tray and saves a lot of space on your tea table. Depending on the type of tea you put in, it holds approximately 30 grams of sheng puer tea leaves.

Additional Information:
It’s food safe, of course. And dishwasher safe. However, I strongly recommend that you wash and dry it by hand, and use it gently. Please do not use on an open flame, gas or electric stove-top. And try to avoid alternating hot and cold, which could cause cracking.
