Fully Handmade Tulip Inspired Duan Ni Clay Fair Cup & Teacup ( a set )

$199.00

This faircup and teacup set was fully handmade by a master potter in Yixing using original duan ni clay. The design is inspired by the tulip flower. We especially like the details of the delicate petals on the body and beautiful lines design of this whole set. Please note that this set includes a faircup and a matching teacup. 

Zisha (紫砂) clay from Yixing is highly valued because of its porous nature of the clay. As you use it, oils from your tea moisturize the teaware, which over time can enhance the flavor of the tea you brew. For this reason, we recommend dedicating your new Yixing teaware to one type of tea only. Particularly for this duanni clay set,, we recommend you to dedicate it to a lighter colored tea, such as young sheng puer, greenish oolong, green tea, white tea, etc., that way your teaware won't pick up a brownish "dirty" color if you forget to clean it after each usage.

All in all, duanni clay is regarded as one of the most "breathable" clays in Yixing. It responds pretty well with your tea. As long as you clean your teaware after each usage, and give a little bit more care to the ware, you won't be disappointed by the finish.

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.
