My third teapot from RealZisha

This is my third zisha teapot from realzisha.com, a vendor I trust for quality and reliability. The teapot is cute and well-made. I paired it with sheng pu’er tea, and it works great. Thanks to Craftsman Zhai Yi Yao for the excellent craftsmanship and to Ian and the team for the smooth transaction.

Incredible pot. Meticulously designed and made. Wonderfully unique shape. Love brewing white tea in it.

Beautiful design, fantastic clay. I treasure every time I use this pot! An absolute dream.

A beautiful pot

Looks even better than in the many pictures posted. Pours like a dream

Gorgeous teapot. Very fine quality and craftsmanship that I’ve come to expect from realzisha.com! I’ve so enjoyed making this pot a part of my tea ritual with my husband and parents. I’ll be back again and again for more purchases; this tea aficionado is a customer for life!

Exceeded All Expectations!

From the bottom of my heart – thank you to Ian, Yi-Lei, and L4 Assoc Master Artist Zhang Ke 助理工艺美术师, 张轲。When I saw Master Zhang Ke’s previous works, I knew I had to see if he was accepting commissions. Ian, Yi-Lei, and the RealZisha team helped facilitate my dream, and the result was this marvelous BenShan LüNi cup. Master Zhang Ke has undeniably honed his skills wonderfully, and worked very hard to allow me to adopt this cup into my home. It took him over ten attempts, and his care and effort is clear to see and feel when I hold it. I am honored by Ian, Yi-Lei, Master Zhang Ke, and the entire RealZisha team’s diligent and tireless work to keeping the art of Fully-Handmade ZiSha alive, and to bringing it to the doorsteps of people all over the world. Thank you, I will be back!

Beautifully crafted handmade pot. Flawless in every way! Can’t wait to start brewing in it!

Impecable

Me encanta es perfecta. Cada detalle es absolutamente perfecto.

Another Nice Yixing Tea Pot!

This is my second Yixing teapot from Realzisha.com, and I’m once again impressed by the excellent quality and beautiful design. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the clay feels perfect for brewing. A special thank you to Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming for creating this wonderful teapot, and to Mr. Ian and the team for making the transaction smooth and easy.

I really appreciated Mr. Ian’s friendly and knowledgeable, it was a pleasure to receive such helpful guidance.
A big thank you also to the craftsman, Wang Xing, for creating this teapot. The design is both beautiful and well-crafted.

Amazing clay!

I love this teapot, very well crafted. My favorite thing about it is the clay. It is porous and smooths out any harsh teas to allow for more sweetness and softness. I love this clay so much I’m looking at getting a few other shapes. The shui ping is also the perfect size and clearly made with care and attention.

Great teapot!

I love this teapot and I’ve been using it for oolongs which is a perfect match!

Authentic Heritage handcrafted Artistry

I am simply ecstatic for my new personally commissioned Yixing cups by Master Li Yan Ru and to see her name on the bottom of them. Dr Ian and Yi Lei have taken such good care of me. I celebrate authentic Zisha and Chinese tea culture in gratitude for RealZisha!

Thank you for the teapot

Fast and easy shipping process with picture of parcel and fast delivery in Canada. Thank you for this beautifull teapot! The craftmanship is absolutely perfect and a true joy to use.

Perfect

Absolutely perfect. Beautiful craftsmanship, the pour is excellent, great size, everything. It definitely made a difference in the flavor as well. Using it with my black tea, it was noticeably less bitter and had more of a pleasant earthiness. Very happy with this pot!

Beautiful, unique teapot

Seeing this on the site it really spoke to me, a very unique lovely shape with a super smooth texture and beautiful zhu ni color. This is one of my first pots so I don't have much reference but to me everything seems great, keeps temperature well, pours nicely, lid is fitted perfectly and stays in even when pouring.

My perfect teapot

I am absolutely satisfied with the teapot. Both the aesthetic and quality aspects of it are perfect, very clean, round shapes, and the clay looks beautiful! It served me well during my tea sessions with it!

I want to additionally point out the great shipping of the product: the pot was well packaged so even though the post handled the package roughly it was completely unharmed!

So I want to thank everyone for creating and delivering me this beautiful masterpiece.

a beautiful teapot

I love the teapot. It is a beautiful teapot. I waited 6 months for it, but I'm very happy to have it.

wonderful teapot

the craftsmanship is wonderful, very clean and well made. the potbelly look on the little legs reminds me of a cauldron. it make me happy just looking at it and it makes great tea. i would purchase this again without hesitation

An update on customer service

The team at RealZisha (Ian & Yi-Lei), Master Wang Dong Ping, and I had a video call recently, and they provided excellent interpretation and facilitation between us as we discussed this wonderful work and I asked questions about using and caring for it. We spent an hour discussing not only these points, but also how the demand for handmade ZiSha wares far outpaces the supply, and has led to the unfortunate prevalence of “Dai Gong” -
ZiSha studios fraudulently passing off less-experienced artists’ works as those of their highest-profile artists, some even going as far as just relegating these master artisans to taking photos with pots made by others so they can mark them up significantly. This video call provided extra assurance and confidence that this Qu Hu masterpiece is indeed a genuine work by these two eminently talented artisans.

Not that there could be any doubt of this tea set’s quality and craftsmanship. As others who commissioned works here have said, the photos truly do not does not do this pot and cups justice. Holding them in your hand, you can feel the consistency and balance of weight that leads to ease of use along with the ergonomic shape, which is achieved while not sacrificing any of its beauty.

I plan on featuring this prominently in life’s special occasions for years to come in addition to everyday use, and look forward to cultivating it with many tea sessions.

fabulous teapot

very well constructed. the wide open top is great for adding tea and cleanup. great size, good for solo or larger sessions. i would buy this again.
