Handcrafted by Pupu Studio in Jianshui, Yunnan, this teapot features a traditional Chinese painting of a figure riding a water buffalo, evoking the quiet beauty of rural life. Delicate, rock-like patterns along the handle add texture and character to the piece.

Made from 100% Jianshui purple clay, or zitao, the teapot is formed from naturally occurring black clay with a soft matte finish. Although it is commonly known as “purple clay,” Jianshui zitao naturally occurs in five colors: purple, red, white, yellow, and green.

Because the teapot is unglazed, the clay may gradually absorb the aroma and character of the tea brewed in it over time. For this reason, we recommend dedicating it to one general type of tea, such as ripe pu-erh, raw pu-erh, oolong, or black tea.

Each teapot is fitted with a built-in ball filter for a smooth, controlled pour.
