Key Specifications

Why Choose This Teapot?

• Exceptional Porosity: The genuine Zisha clay features a unique dual-porosity structure, allowing the tea to "breathe." Over time, the pot will absorb the tea oils, developing a rich, lustrous patina and enhancing the flavor of your brew.

• Fully Handmade Artistry: Unlike half-handmade or molded pots, this piece is shaped entirely by hand using traditional wooden paddles. You can find the unique "inner-wall marks" and the artist’s seal, certifying its authenticity.

• Ergonomic Precision: Perfectly balanced weight distribution ensures a comfortable pour. The lid fits snugly with "water-tight" precision, a hallmark of high-quality craftsmanship.

• Versatility: While 200cc is versatile, this clay is particularly well-suited for Oolong, Pu-erh, and Black teas, as it retains heat exceptionally well.

Care & Seasoning (The "Opening" Ritual)

1. Cleanse: Rinse the pot thoroughly with warm water (never use soap).

2. Awaken: Submerge the pot in boiling water for 10 minutes to remove any kiln dust.

3. Season: Brew a strong batch of your chosen tea leaf inside the pot and let it sit until cool. This "primes" the clay for its first official use.

Note: Because this is a handmade item, slight variations in color and texture are normal and are a testament to the natural material and the artisan's touch.
