Yixing Zisha Teapot 200cc – Purple Clay – Zhou Pan Writing Tea
A pot does not need to shout to earn a place on your tea table. Pouring 200cc at a time, it serves solo gongfu sessions well.
The pot is purple clay with the matte, natural finish Yixing is known for. Good firing gives the clay a clear ring when tapped. Subtle tool marks up close are the signature of hand finishing — the photos do not exaggerate. In practice, walls hold heat well through multiple steepings. Keep it to one tea and it will pay you back in flavor — the photos do not exaggerate. The compact size means less water wasted warming the pot, which makes daily brewing just a little easier.
The pot arrives as pictured, ready for its first rinse and seasoning. The pot does its job so well you will forget to notice it. Order it, rinse it, brew in it — the pot handles the rest.
