Shops Handmade Dao Ba Xi Shi Aged Zi Ni Clay Teapot

This round shi xi teapot was handmade in Yixing using a mixture of aged original Yixing Zini clay. The body is round, allowing your tea leaves to dance freely. The narrow and curvy spout makes pouring particularly steady/even. It does take a little bit more time to finish pouring than other teapots, making it particularly good for teas that require longer steeping. The teapot appears dark red in color and it has a built-in wall filter. We especially like the round shape and tiny spout of this teapot.

Zini clay is high in iron components, and its dual porosity structure makes it good for shops air convection when brewing tea. As you use it, oils from your tea moisturize the pot, which can in turn, season it and enhance the flavor of the tea that you use it with over time. For this reason, we recommend dedicating your new Yixing teapot to one type of tea only. Particularly for our Dao Ba Xi Shi zini clay teapot, we recommend you to dedicate it to fermented tea such as ripe puerh, oolong, black tea, etc.
