This teapot is a true masterpiece, crafted entirely by hand in Yixing, China, utilizing a blend of authentic Yixing Jiang Po Ni clay. Drawing inspiration from the elegance of the lotus flower, the teapot features intricately designed lotus petals adorning its body, while the lid showcases a beautifully rendered lotus bud. The slender and elongated spout mirrors the delicate and graceful stem of the lotus flower. What truly stands out is the contrast in clay texture on the teapot, coupled with the impeccable craftsmanship that defines this piece. It's a testament to the artistry and attention to detail, making it a captivating addition for those who appreciate the beauty and skill that goes into handmade tea ware.

Jiang Po Ni is a type of paragenic clay. The original clay mineral contains Duan clay, Red Clay (Hong Ni), Purple clay (Zi Ni) and other paragenic clays. So this special clay integrates much goodness of other clays. Jiang Po Ni features an oil/moisturized dark brown appearance, and the granules of the clay look similar to a pear’s skin. Jiang Po Ni has very good air penetrability, and it’s very conducive to tea steeping. It won't over brew the tea leaves and bring unpleasant stewed flavor to your tea.

Jiang Po Ni clay from Yixing is highly valued because of its porous nature. As you use it, oils from your tea moisturize the pot, which over time can enhance the flavor of the tea that you brew in it. For this reason, we recommend dedicating your new teapot to one type of tea only. Particularly for our wendan teapot, we recommend you to dedicate it to a fermented tea such as ripe puerh, oolong, black tea, etc. Try to skip tea which has a strong/high aroma such as Dancong Oong, Tie Guan Yin, Wuyi Rougui, etc., because the clay might absorb the high aroma from your tea.

Additional Information:

It’s food safe, of course. I strongly recommend that you wash it only with water, and use it gently. Please do not use soap to wash or rinse your pot because it might also absorb the scent from the soap. You can also use a bamboo handle brush to gently wipe away excess water during and after using any porous clay pots (Yixing, Jianshui) to help ensure it develops an even finish.
