Black Teas, with dense rich taste.  A 100degC steep in of hot water, with a fast pour out.  Especially your costliest Oolong, that $4,000 per 100g Oolong harvested around the Mu Shu Da Hong Pao trees meant for the leadership of China.  We want to get the Rich TASTE OUT from the leaves OPTIMALLY, and not burning nor scalding the leaves, with a fast pour out.  A classic fast move.  Elegant and the Oolong that results, especially if that is your costliest Oolong, your costliest Yan Cha in your collection.  Nothing else replaces this prerequisite for the BEST resultant tea taste.  For one or two pax most astounding results.  We want the maximum amount of tea leaves within the pot, that 100degC hot water in that fills up fast and conveniently, decisive pick of the lid knob and covering it, quick and most effective steep, that dense tea water out.  The most treasured steep of 70ml of tea water out for one to two persons per steep.  When every steep matters.  The most unique and transcendental tasting, that teaches us the matter of impermanence, and we treasure every steep, every drop that passes through down our palate.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn upper end Oolong costs $5 per gram, and 100 grams would cost $500.   Each steep with 7-8grams of tea leaves, this 100grams

wide girthed opening for that much more convenience in introducing tea leaves in, and rinsing off after,\u003cbr\u003e3)  De Zhong is unlike the Jing Zhou Shi Piao which gives the maximum volume PERCEIVED size.  De Zhong gives the lowest volume per perceived size.  What it means is that, a small volume De Zhong of 100-120ml like this, occupies bigger real estate space on your tea table, than its actual tea volume suggests.  This is because De Zhong, like Jun De 君德, has an acutely narrowed neck above its shoulder line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat this means is that we have a pot that

\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefined, refreshingly new, yet classic, and being a handsome miniaturised essence of the whole pot's aesthetics.  Notice its shape: raised and elevated upwards, sloping upwards, and then outwards again in a flared shape, that allows for AMAZING reassurance in grip!  We do not want our fingers to be scalded when we handle a small lid knob that comes with a small volume pot!  Craftsman Shi Yun is astute!  We toast to her for her efforts to bring this to us!\u003cbr\u003e5)  Lastly, notice how wise she is: she is diligent in work as she crafted the spout's circumferential clay wall as thin as possible.  You want a quick pour out, you want a small volume pot for that gungfu steeping for your costliest Oolong and Yan Cha, you want a wide lumen and opening for the spout: hence the spout's wall cannot be thick, or else the spout would look unbecomingly stubby, unsightly and oversized to match the pot's body.  The only way to achieve this is to have the Craftsman diligently and crafting a thin yet sturdy wall.  Yes, so as to achieve the widest spout lumen and opening for that fast pour out.  If the clay wall is thicker, you can't have a wide spout opening or else the whole spout would appear too thick and unsightly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe are thrilled to have Senior Craftsman Shi Yun gifts

quick and most effective steep, that dense tea water out.  The most treasured steep of 70ml of tea water out for one to two persons per steep.  When every steep matters.  The most unique and

opening for the spout: hence the spout's wall cannot be thick, or else the spout would look unbecomingly stubby, unsightly and oversized to match the pot's body.  The only way to achieve this is to

Black Teas, with dense rich taste.  A 100degC steep in of hot water, with a fast pour out.  Especially your costliest Oolong, that $4,000 per 100g Oolong harvested around the Mu Shu Da Hong Pao trees meant for the leadership of China.  We want to get the Rich TASTE OUT from the leaves OPTIMALLY, and not burning nor scalding the leaves, with a fast pour out.  A classic fast move.  Elegant and the Oolong that results, especially if that is your costliest Oolong, your costliest Yan Cha in your collection.  Nothing else replaces this prerequisite for the BEST resultant tea taste.  For one or two pax most astounding results.  We want the maximum amount of tea leaves within the pot, that 100degC hot water in that fills up fast and conveniently, decisive pick of the lid knob and covering it, quick and most effective steep, that dense tea water out.  The most treasured steep of 70ml of tea water out for one to two persons per steep.  When every steep matters.  The most unique and transcendental tasting, that teaches us the matter of impermanence, and we treasure every steep, every drop that passes through down our

PERCEIVED size.  De Zhong gives the lowest volume per perceived size.  What it means is that, a small volume De Zhong of 100-120ml like this, occupies bigger real estate space on your tea table, than its actual tea volume suggests.  This is because De Zhong, like Jun De 君德, has an acutely narrowed neck above its shoulder line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat this means is that we have a pot that

\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefined, refreshingly new, yet classic, and being a handsome miniaturised essence of the whole pot's aesthetics.  Notice its shape: raised and elevated upwards, sloping upwards, and then outwards again in a flared shape, that allows for AMAZING reassurance in grip!  We do not want our fingers to be scalded when we handle a small lid knob that comes with a small volume pot!  Craftsman Shi Yun is astute!  We toast to her for her efforts to bring this to us!\u003cbr\u003e5)  Lastly, notice how wise she is: she is diligent in work as she crafted the spout's circumferential clay wall as thin as possible.  You want a quick pour out, you want a small volume pot for that gungfu steeping for your costliest Oolong and Yan Cha, you want a wide lumen and opening for the spout: hence the spout's wall cannot be thick, or else the spout would look unbecomingly stubby, unsightly and oversized to match the pot's body.  The only way to achieve this is to have the Craftsman diligently and crafting a thin yet sturdy wall.  Yes, so as to achieve the widest spout lumen and opening for that fast pour out.  If the clay wall is thicker, you can't have a wide

meant for the leadership of China.  We want to get the Rich TASTE OUT from the leaves OPTIMALLY, and not burning nor scalding the leaves, with a fast pour out.  A classic fast move.  Elegant and the

PERCEIVED size.  De Zhong gives the lowest volume per perceived size.  What it means is that, a small volume De Zhong of 100-120ml like this, occupies bigger real estate space on your tea table, than its actual tea volume suggests.  This is because De Zhong, like Jun De 君德, has an acutely narrowed neck above its shoulder line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat this means is that we have a pot that

\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefined, refreshingly new, yet classic, and being a handsome miniaturised essence of the whole pot's aesthetics.  Notice its shape: raised and elevated upwards,

small volume pot!  Craftsman Shi Yun is astute!  We toast to her for her efforts to bring this to us!\u003cbr\u003e5)  Lastly, notice how wise she is: she is diligent in work as she crafted the spout's circumferential clay wall as thin as possible.  You want a quick pour out, you want a small volume pot for that gungfu steeping for your costliest Oolong and Yan Cha, you want a wide lumen and

Black Teas, with dense rich taste.  A 100degC steep in of hot water, with a fast pour out.  Especially your costliest Oolong, that $4,000 per 100g Oolong harvested around the Mu Shu Da Hong Pao trees meant for the leadership of China.  We want to get the Rich TASTE OUT from the leaves OPTIMALLY, and not burning nor scalding the leaves, with a fast pour out.  A classic fast move.  Elegant and the Oolong that results, especially if that is your costliest Oolong, your costliest Yan Cha in your collection.  Nothing else replaces this prerequisite for the BEST resultant tea taste.  For one or two pax most astounding results.  We want the maximum amount of tea leaves within the pot, that 100degC hot water in that fills up fast and conveniently, decisive pick of the lid knob and covering it, quick and most effective steep, that dense tea water out.  The most treasured steep of 70ml of tea water out for one to two persons per steep.  When every steep matters.  The most unique and

PERCEIVED size.  De Zhong gives the lowest volume per perceived size.  What it means is that, a small volume De Zhong of 100-120ml like this, occupies bigger real estate space on your tea table, than its actual tea volume suggests.  This is because De Zhong, like Jun De 君德, has an acutely narrowed neck above its shoulder line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat this means is that we have a pot that

\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefined, refreshingly new, yet classic, and being a handsome miniaturised essence of the whole pot's aesthetics.  Notice its shape: raised and elevated upwards,

small volume pot!  Craftsman Shi Yun is astute!  We toast to her for her efforts to bring this to us!\u003cbr\u003e5)  Lastly, notice how wise she is: she is diligent in work as she crafted the spout's circumferential clay wall as thin as possible.  You want a quick pour out, you want a small volume pot for that gungfu steeping for your costliest Oolong and Yan Cha, you want a wide lumen and opening for the spout: hence the spout's wall cannot be thick, or else the spout would look unbecomingly stubby, unsightly and oversized to match the pot's body.  The only way to achieve this is to have the Craftsman diligently and crafting a thin yet sturdy wall.  Yes, so as to achieve the widest spout lumen and opening for that fast pour out.  If the clay wall is thicker, you can't have a wide

Black Teas, with dense rich taste.  A 100degC steep in of hot water, with a fast pour out.  Especially your costliest Oolong, that $4,000 per 100g Oolong harvested around the Mu Shu Da Hong Pao trees meant for the leadership of China.  We want to get the Rich TASTE OUT from the leaves OPTIMALLY, and not burning nor scalding the leaves, with a fast pour out.  A classic fast move.  Elegant and the Oolong that results, especially if that is your costliest Oolong, your costliest Yan Cha in your collection.  Nothing else replaces this prerequisite for the BEST resultant tea taste.  For one or two pax most astounding results.  We want the maximum amount of tea leaves within the pot, that 100degC hot water in that fills up fast and conveniently, decisive pick of the lid knob and covering it, quick and most effective steep, that dense tea water out.  The most treasured steep of 70ml of tea water out for one to two persons per steep.  When every steep matters.  The most unique and

PERCEIVED size.  De Zhong gives the lowest volume per perceived size.  What it means is that, a small volume De Zhong of 100-120ml like this, occupies bigger real estate space on your tea table, than its actual tea volume suggests.  This is because De Zhong, like Jun De 君德, has an acutely narrowed neck above its shoulder line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat this means is that we have a pot that

\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefined, refreshingly new, yet classic, and being a handsome miniaturised essence of the whole pot's aesthetics.  Notice its shape: raised and elevated upwards, sloping upwards, and then outwards again in a flared shape, that allows for AMAZING reassurance in grip!  We do not want our fingers to be scalded when we handle a small lid knob that comes with a small volume pot!  Craftsman Shi Yun is astute!  We toast to her for her efforts to bring this to us!\u003cbr\u003e5)  Lastly, notice how wise she is: she is diligent in work as she crafted the spout's circumferential clay wall as thin as possible.  You want a quick pour out, you want a small volume pot for that gungfu steeping for your costliest Oolong and Yan Cha, you want a wide lumen and opening for the spout: hence the spout's wall cannot be thick, or else the spout would look unbecomingly stubby, unsightly and oversized to match the pot's body.  The only way to achieve this is to have the Craftsman diligently and crafting a thin yet sturdy wall.  Yes, so as to achieve the widest spout lumen and opening for that fast pour out.  If the clay wall is thicker, you can't have a wide spout opening or else the whole spout would appear too thick and unsightly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe are thrilled to have Senior Craftsman Shi Yun gifts

Black Teas, with dense rich taste.  A 100degC steep in of hot water, with a fast pour out.  Especially your costliest Oolong, that $4,000 per 100g Oolong harvested around the Mu Shu Da Hong Pao trees meant for the leadership of China.  We want to get the Rich TASTE OUT from the leaves OPTIMALLY, and not burning nor scalding the leaves, with a fast pour out.  A classic fast move.  Elegant and the Oolong that results, especially if that is your costliest Oolong, your costliest Yan Cha in your collection.  Nothing else replaces this prerequisite for the BEST resultant tea taste.  For one or two pax most astounding results.  We want the maximum amount of tea leaves within the pot, that 100degC hot water in that fills up fast and conveniently, decisive pick of the lid knob and covering it, quick and most effective steep, that dense tea water out.  The most treasured steep of 70ml of tea water out for one to two persons per steep.  When every steep matters.  The most unique and transcendental tasting, that teaches us the matter of impermanence, and we treasure every steep, every drop that passes through down our palate.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn upper end Oolong costs $5 per gram, and 100 grams would cost $500.   Each steep with 7-8grams of tea leaves, this 100grams would last 12 sessions.\u003cbr\u003eWe do not waste it, and we want to treasure every drop of tea steeped from it.  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSenior Craftsman Shi Yun ASTUTELY improvises and REFINES the De Zhong to a tee!\u003cbr\u003e1)  A 100-120ml right-sized pot for one to two pax,\u003cbr\u003e2)  De Zhong refined shorter but wider, with a wide girthed opening for that much more convenience in introducing tea leaves in, and rinsing off after,\u003cbr\u003e3)  De Zhong is unlike the Jing Zhou Shi Piao which gives the maximum volume PERCEIVED size.  De Zhong gives the lowest volume per perceived size.  What it means is that, a small volume De Zhong of 100-120ml like this, occupies bigger real estate space on your tea table, than its actual tea volume suggests.  This is because De Zhong, like Jun De 君德, has an acutely narrowed neck above its shoulder line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat this means is that we have a pot that does not appear small and petite, but handsome and stately on our tea table.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4)  Craftsman Shi Yun sculpts in the gentle rising lid dome, all very congenial and pleasing to the eye.  The dome rising and curve lovingly matches the shoulder convex silhouette.\u003cbr\u003e5)  And that lid knob, which Shi Yun, she is very proud of!  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefined, refreshingly new, yet classic, and being a handsome miniaturised essence of the whole pot's aesthetics.  Notice its shape: raised and elevated upwards, sloping upwards, and then outwards again in a flared shape, that allows for AMAZING reassurance in grip!  We do not want our fingers to be scalded when we handle a small lid knob that comes with a small volume pot!  Craftsman Shi Yun is astute!  We toast to her for her efforts to bring this to us!\u003cbr\u003e5)  Lastly, notice how wise she is: she is diligent in work as she crafted the spout's circumferential clay wall as thin as possible.  You want a quick pour out, you want a small volume pot for that gungfu steeping for your costliest Oolong and Yan Cha, you want a wide lumen and opening for the spout: hence the spout's wall cannot be thick, or else the spout would look unbecomingly stubby, unsightly and oversized to match the pot's body.  The only way to achieve this is to have the Craftsman diligently and crafting a thin yet sturdy wall.  Yes, so as to achieve the widest spout lumen and opening for that fast pour out.  If the clay wall is thicker, you can't have a wide spout opening or else the whole spout would appear too thick and unsightly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe are thrilled to have Senior Craftsman Shi Yun gifts

Oolong harvested around the Mu Shu Da Hong Pao trees meant for the leadership of China.  We want to get the Rich TASTE OUT from the leaves OPTIMALLY, and not burning nor scalding the leaves, with a fast pour out.  A classic fast move.  Elegant and the Oolong that results, especially if that is your costliest Oolong, your costliest Yan Cha in your collection.  Nothing else replaces this prerequisite for the BEST resultant tea taste.  For one or two pax most astounding results.  We want the maximum amount of tea leaves within the pot, that 100degC hot water in that fills up fast and conveniently, decisive pick of the lid knob and covering it, quick and most effective steep, that dense tea water out.  The most treasured steep of 70ml of tea water out for one to two persons per

shoulder line, and a narrowed bottom below the \"equator line\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat this means is that we have a pot that does not appear small and petite, but handsome and stately on our

circumferential clay wall as thin as possible.  You want a quick pour out, you want a small volume pot for that gungfu steeping for your costliest Oolong and Yan Cha, you want a wide lumen and opening for the spout: hence the spout's wall cannot be thick, or else the spout would look unbecomingly stubby, unsightly and oversized to match the pot's body.  The only way to achieve this is to have the Craftsman diligently and crafting a thin yet sturdy wall.  Yes, so as to achieve the widest spout lumen and opening for that fast pour out.  If the clay wall is thicker, you can't have a wide spout opening or else the whole spout would appear too thick and unsightly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe are thrilled to have Senior Craftsman Shi Yun gifts this to

Black Teas, with dense rich taste.  A 100degC steep in of hot water, with a fast pour out.  Especially your costliest Oolong, that $4,000 per 100g Oolong harvested around the Mu Shu Da Hong Pao trees meant for the leadership of China.  We want to get the Rich TASTE OUT from the leaves OPTIMALLY, and not burning nor scalding the leaves, with a fast pour out.  A classic fast move.  Elegant and the Oolong that results, especially if that is your costliest Oolong, your costliest Yan Cha in your collection.  Nothing else replaces this prerequisite for the BEST resultant tea taste.  For one or two pax most astounding results.  We want the maximum amount of tea leaves within the pot, that 100degC hot water in that fills up fast and conveniently, decisive pick of the lid knob and covering it, quick and most effective steep, that dense tea water out.  The most treasured steep of 70ml of tea water out for one to two persons per steep.  When every steep matters.  The most unique and transcendental tasting, that teaches us the matter of impermanence, and we treasure every steep, every drop that passes through down our palate.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn upper end Oolong costs $5 per gram, and 100 grams would cost $500.   Each steep with 7-8grams of tea leaves, this 100grams would last 12 sessions.\u003cbr\u003eWe do not waste it, and we want to treasure every drop of tea steeped from it.  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSenior

wide girthed opening for that much more convenience in introducing tea leaves in, and rinsing off after,\u003cbr\u003e3)  De Zhong is unlike the Jing Zhou Shi Piao which gives the maximum volume PERCEIVED size.  De Zhong gives the lowest volume per perceived size.  What it means is that, a small volume De Zhong of 100-120ml like this, occupies bigger real estate space on your tea table, than its actual tea volume suggests.  This is because De Zhong, like Jun De 君德, has an acutely narrowed neck above its shoulder line.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat this means is that we have a pot that does not appear small and petite, but handsome and stately on our tea table.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4)  Craftsman Shi Yun sculpts in the gentle rising lid dome, all very congenial and pleasing to the eye.  The dome rising and curve lovingly matches the shoulder convex silhouette.\u003cbr\u003e5)  And that lid knob, which Shi Yun, she is very proud of!  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefined, refreshingly new, yet classic, and being a handsome miniaturised essence of the whole pot's aesthetics.  Notice its shape: raised and elevated upwards, sloping upwards, and then outwards again in a flared shape, that allows for AMAZING reassurance in grip!  We do not want our fingers to be scalded when we handle a small lid knob that comes with a small volume pot!  Craftsman Shi Yun is astute!  We toast to her for her efforts to bring this to us!\u003cbr\u003e5)  Lastly, notice how wise she is: she is diligent in work as she crafted the spout's circumferential clay wall as thin as possible.  You want a quick pour out, you want a small volume pot for that gungfu steeping for your costliest Oolong and Yan Cha, you want a wide lumen and opening for the spout: hence the spout's wall cannot be thick, or else the spout would look unbecomingly stubby, unsightly and oversized to match the pot's body.  The only way to achieve this is to have the Craftsman diligently and crafting a thin yet sturdy wall.  Yes, so as to achieve the widest spout lumen and opening for that fast pour out.  If the clay wall is thicker, you can't have a wide spout opening or else the whole spout would appear too thick and unsightly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe are thrilled to have Senior Craftsman Shi Yun gifts

pour out, you want a small volume pot for that gungfu steeping for your costliest Oolong and Yan Cha, you want a wide lumen and opening for the spout: hence the spout's wall cannot be thick, or else the spout would look unbecomingly stubby, unsightly and oversized to match the pot's body.  The only way to achieve this is to have the Craftsman diligently and crafting a thin yet sturdy wall.  Yes,

Oolong harvested around the Mu Shu Da Hong Pao trees meant for the leadership of China.  We want to get the Rich TASTE OUT from the leaves OPTIMALLY, and not burning nor scalding the leaves, with a fast pour out.  A classic fast move.  Elegant and the Oolong that results, especially if that is your costliest Oolong, your costliest Yan Cha in your collection.  Nothing else replaces this

conveniently, decisive pick of the lid knob and covering it, quick and most effective steep, that dense tea water out.  The most treasured steep of 70ml of tea water out for one to two persons per
