FatBat Puerh De Zhong Zhuni Yixing Teapot

Zhuni is a high-density red clay known for its excellent heat retention and ability to enhance the aromatics of tea. Because of its specific mineral composition, it is particularly well-suited for brewing oolong and aged puerh teas.

This size is ideal for gongfu-style brewing, allowing you to focus on short, precise infusions. It is best suited for solo sessions or serving one to two people.

The 40-mu filtration refers to the particle size of the clay. This medium-mesh texture provides a balance between a smooth, tactile finish and enough porosity to allow the teapot to absorb tea oils, which helps develop a beautiful patina over time.

To build a patina, dedicate the teapot to a single type of tea and rinse it with hot water after every use. Avoid using soap, as the porous clay will absorb the chemicals and ruin the flavor of your future brews.

A 7-second pour is quite efficient for a 100ml teapot, indicating a well-crafted spout and filter alignment. This speed allows for better control over your steep times, preventing the tea from over-extracting while you pour.

The De Zhong shape is a classic design characterized by its balanced, full-bodied profile and stable base. It is favored by enthusiasts for its ergonomic handle and its symbolic representation of integrity and ceremony.
