Clay: Ash-glazed Wood Fired Duanni Capacity: 140ml Pour Time: 7s Made inDingshan, Yixing
A beautiful decorative piece in a coarse Duanni, wood-fired with an ash glaze to give a stunning metallic finish. While contemporary, it incorporates many Chinese elements to give a harmonious presence on the tea table.
The engraved words Qing Feng translate to "Cool, Clean Breeze". The handle and spout are crafted in the appearance of bamboo, while the lid is topped with a decorative "Lake Taihu Rock", a poetic feature of classical Chinese landscaping (and of particular relevance given the close proximity of Lake Taihu to Yixing). The filter hole is shaped like an ancient Chinese coin.
CARE OF YOUR ZISHA 1. To clean your new teapot, first rinse well inside and out with lukewarm water. Then fill with hot water just off the boil, steep for 30s and pour out. Repeat the hot water rinse 2-3 times as needed. 2. Brew your favorite tea! 3. After the session, empty the spent leaf and rinse out well with hot water. Dry the exterior gently with a soft cloth if needed to remove any stains that remain. 4. Air dry in a well-ventilated area with the lid removed.
Other Tips: - Never use detergent or any other cleaning agent on Zisha! - Our Zisha is top quality; boiling with tea leaves (or tofu) before use is not needed. - Your teapot will develop a patina through regular use and care. Avoid pouring tea over the exterior of the pot to hasten the process, this will quickly result in a “dirty” looking pot.
