Zini Clay — Warm, Earthy Character
Made from Zini (紫泥), a traditional Yixing clay appreciated for its deep purple-brown tone and naturally understated texture. The unglazed surface highlights the clay’s authentic color and tactile character, giving the teapot a warm, refined appearance.
Bian Yun Form — Low, Rounded, and Gracefully Balanced
The Bian Yun (扁韵) form is distinguished by its low, broad body and softly rounded profile. A wide circular opening and gently domed lid follow the curve of the body, while the short spout and compact loop handle keep the silhouette balanced and cohesive from every angle.
Fully Handcrafted — Simplicity with Attention to Detail
Fully handcrafted with careful attention to the proportions and transitions between the body, lid, spout, and handle. The clean, undecorated design keeps the focus on the teapot’s smooth curves, balanced structure, and the natural beauty of the Zini clay.
170 ml Capacity — Compact and Versatile
With a 170 ml capacity, this teapot is well suited to personal tea sessions or sharing smaller servings with one or two guests. Its compact size works with a wide variety of teas and is especially convenient for multiple infusions at the tea table.
"No fear of impure clay—only the finest raw ore from Huanglong Mountain is selected.
Aged 'Lao Zini' (Old Purple Clay) is a relatively common yet classic type of Zisha clay. While high-quality Lao Zini is rare, inferior grades are abundant. Exhibiting a purplish-brown hue, it is often referred to by enthusiasts as 'Black Purple Clay' and is one of the most widely accepted clays in the market. Rich in iron content, this clay contains larger particles and has a loose structure, resulting in a distinct double-pore formation in the ware. This allows excellent air circulation and breathability. With prolonged use, its hidden elegance gradually emerges, making it easy to cultivate and maintain. Over time, it undergoes remarkable transformation, developing a rich patina."
