Intricately fashioned in the shape of a petite pumpkin with many special details. This partially handmade teapot is crafted from authentic brick red Zhu ni (red clay).
Zhu ni clay has been procured for centuries from only the foothills near Yixing in Jiangsu province. Zhu ni clay fires somewhat porous, and with continued use will retain a tea’s oils and essence.
It is widely believed a well-seasoned pot brews the best tea. Therefore, Yixing enthusiasts devote one pot to each type of tea so to not mix flavors.
Yixing teapots are usually more petite than western versions and are specifically designed for Gongfu steeping. The Gongfu method enlists a generous amount of tea with smaller amounts of water for shorter steeping times with multiple brews. Many believe Gongfu steeping extracts a tea’s truest character and its greatest volume for each pot of leaf.
Completely rinse all sand and particles from the interior before first using. Hand-wash with water only (no soap or detergents) and air-dry.
