The Unique Charm of Zhu Ni Clay
The Xiao Qie Gua Yixing Teapot is crafted from Yixing’s original Zhu Ni clay, known for its vibrant orange-red hue and smooth texture. Zhu Ni is highly prized in the world of Yixing teapots for its unique ability to improve the flavor and aroma of tea. Derived from soft mudstone, Zhu Ni clay has a high shrinkage rate of 17%-25%, which makes it more challenging to work with but also results in fewer surviving pieces, increasing the rarity and value of each teapot.
Craftsmanship: Semi-Handmade Perfection
This teapot is created using semi-handmade craftsmanship, a technique that balances the efficiency of machine production with the precision of handwork. While it is not fully handcrafted, every detail is carefully shaped and finished by skilled artisans to ensure consistency and beauty. The semi-handmade method allows for more control over the material while maintaining the elegant, refined features of traditional Yixing teapots.
Tea Experience: Enhancing Your Tea Ritual
Zhu Ni teapots are known for their exceptional thermal insulation and breathable qualities. This teapot helps retain the tea’s temperature, allowing you to enjoy each sip at its ideal warmth. The porous nature of the clay also allows the tea to “breathe,” releasing deeper flavors and aromas, creating a more satisfying tea experience. With continued use, the surface of the teapot naturally develops a unique sheen, adding a personal touch and history to every brew.
