Teasenz De Zhong Yixing Teapot

Zhu Ni is a highly prized type of Yixing clay known for its high shrinkage rate and fine, dense texture. It is particularly well-suited for brewing high-aroma teas like oolong or dan cong, as the clay helps retain heat and enhances the fragrance of the tea leaves.

With a capacity of 4.7 ounces, this teapot is designed for Gongfu style brewing, which typically serves one to two people. It is sized specifically for multiple short infusions rather than a single large serving.

The pear-skin texture is a natural result of the firing process and does not require special cleaning tools. Simply rinse the pot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry thoroughly; never use soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb the chemicals.

The integrated 7-hole filter is standard for traditional Yixing teapots and works well for most rolled or twisted tea leaves. If you are brewing very fine, broken-leaf teas, you may experience a few small particles in your cup, but it is generally sufficient for whole-leaf varieties.

No, this teapot is not designed for direct heat. It should not be used on a stovetop, in a microwave, or in a dishwasher, as these can cause the clay to crack or damage the delicate finish.

Each teapot is handcrafted by artist Wu Ronghua and arrives with an official certificate of authenticity. This documentation verifies the origin and the artist behind the piece, ensuring you are receiving a genuine artisanal item.
