【Craftsmanship】Semi-handmade - Semi-handmade Yixing teapots are initially shaped with molds, then meticulously refined by artisans through handcrafted detailing, polishing, and carving. This technique ensures consistent form while incorporating the artisan’s skill and aesthetics, striking a balance between efficiency and artistry. Benefits include excellent breathability due to the unique double-pore structure of zisha clay, which enhances tea aroma and keeps tea fresh even overnight. More affordable than fully handmade versions, these teapots retain handmade charm and practicality, making them ideal for daily tea brewing.
【Clay material】Raw zhu ni reduction-fired
【Introduction】An exquisite zisha teapot for the true tea enthusiast. Its elegant form and porous clay work in harmony to unlock your tea's fullest flavor and aroma.
【Brewing Advice】 (1) We recommend using one teapot for each type of tea. (2) Zisha teapots are generally suitable for brewing all types of tea, but if you are looking for the ultimate pairing for different tea types and clay types, you can refer to our zisha clay and tea pairing guide by following this link: https://yiqinteahouse.com/blogs/news/zisha-clay-properties-tea-pairing-guide
【Reduction Firing】 Wuhui is a secondary firing process that changes the teapot's colour by manipulating the oxidation state of iron. In the first firing, done in a normal oxygen‑rich kiln, it yields the red Zhuni colour. In the second firing, the fired pot is placed in a sealed sagger with charcoal and refired at low temperature; the oxygen‑free environment reduces the red iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) to black ferrous oxide (FeO), turning the clay a deep, translucent blackish‑grey with blue or greenish undertones. This is a pure physical change – no harmful chemicals are added, and the interior remains red if broken. Due to Zhuni's high crystallinity, success rates are very low, making these pots rare and more valuable than regular Zhuni. The finish exhibits a warm, jade‑like lustre with bluish undertones.
