Julunzhu Di Cao Qing Zini Yixing Teapot

Di Cao Qing Zini is a highly regarded variety of Yixing clay known for its high mineral content and porous structure. It is particularly prized by collectors because it absorbs tea oils over time, which helps season the pot and enhances the flavor profile of your brews.

Because this teapot is made from unglazed, authentic Zisha clay, it will naturally absorb the tea you brew. With regular use, the surface will gradually transition from its original matte finish to a lustrous, deep burgundy patina, reflecting the specific types of tea you drink.

At 150ml, this teapot is perfectly sized for Gongfu-style brewing, which is ideal for one or two people. It allows for multiple short infusions, letting you fully explore the nuances of high-quality loose-leaf teas.

The cannon-style spout is designed for a fast, clean pour, which is essential when brewing delicate teas that require precise timing. This specific silhouette is a hallmark of the Julunzhu shape, balancing aesthetic elegance with functional water flow.

Before its first use, you should 'season' the pot by boiling it in water with the type of tea you intend to brew most often. Afterward, simply rinse it with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry completely without the lid on to prevent any musty odors.
