A terracotta teapot for aromatic, nuanced infusions
Yixing "wengxing" handmade Chinese teapot - brown (purple clay - zini) - approx. 26 cl (260 ml). Delivered in a luxurious fabric pouch inside a padded box with clasp.
Crafted entirely by hand from "zini - 紫泥" purple clay, this "Wengxing- 瓮形" teapot adopts a classic shape reminiscent of a jar with a flat lid.
It has the ability to rise to temperature quickly, which is ideal for teas that need to infuse at high temperatures (wu long teas, dark teas including pu'er, black teas).
Types of tea that can be brewed with this model:
The walls of zini teapots are generally relatively thick, which ensures good heat retention: an ideal feature for infusing pu'er and thick-leaf wu long teas.
The large capacity of this teapot means it can be used to brew for several people as part of a gong fu cha.
Product use:
The walls of zini teapots are generally relatively thick, allowing good heat retention: an ideal feature for brewing pu'er and thick-leaf wu long.
Care instructions :
After each use, this terracotta teapot should be rinsed in hot water (without detergent) and polished with a soft cloth. To avoid unpleasant odours, the teapot should be dried completely without the lid, or with the lid half-open
