Perhaps it was the gentle bevel at the teapot’s middle or the lilting slender spout that captured Ling Ling’s love. Although we may never know, we’re sure you’ll always enjoy expertly brewing cha in this partially handmade teapot in warm chestnut brown from Zi ni (purple clay).
Zi ni clay has been procured for centuries from only the foothills near Yixing in Jiangsu province. Zi 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.
