Handmade Si Ting Zhu Ni Clay Teapot
Handmade Si Ting Zhu Ni Clay Teapot
This delicate and classic Si Ting shape teapot was handmade in Yixing using a mixture of original Yixing zhu ni clay. It features a neat and curvy body and a pagoda-like top, and its small size makes it easy and comfortable to hold in hand.
Zhuni clay contains extremely fine particles; therefore it is very sticky and elastic. It also has two distinguish characteristics：1. Clay is rich in iron2. Clay contains less percentage of zinc, copper, or magnesium.
Zisha (紫砂) clay from Yixing is highly valued because of the porous nature of the clay. 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, such as ripe puer, raw puer, oolong, black tea, etc, and never wash it with soap or anything else besides water.

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.
