I love this custom made BenShan LuNi teapot that was handcrafted by the Artist Zhang, Ke. I owe many BenShan LuNi clay teapots, this is by far one of the best BenShan LuNi I’ve ever seen. The craft skills are beatable. I highly recommend this artist.
First time purchasing a bigger teapot. This one is for my daily morning brew of tea. Very thick and robust. The lid also stays in place when pouring making it easy to use without thinking it might fall and break.
I’m becoming pleasantly acquainted with my new fang gu pot. It is a nice handmade pot and I’m looking forward to adding another to my collection in the near future.
I am delighted by this adorable pot. Communication with Ian has been excellent, shipping was fast and efficient.
At first, I was afraid of the 200 ml volume would make the piece too large or impractical to use other than as a mere statement piece, but the craftsmanship is so refined and well thought that I hardly notice the size anymore. It is very easy to use, and I now find the pot most adorable and not in the least intimidating.
Clay is superb, with a deep presence and a tactile feel but the precise design and high firing almost give the impression of holding a piece made of metal, both light and dense.
The clay carving is mesmerizing and I never get tired to gaze at it with all its minute details and subtle colours.
The brews I get are rich and thick ; the pot works very well with all kinds of tea, but even more convincingly with young sheng pu'erh.
Congratulation to master Li for her magnificent work and many thanks for providing us with the privilege of using such a great pot !
This Teapot is absolutely stunning and exactly what I was looking for in everyday! Thank You so much for sourcing this artwork. Will be a lifelong piece for tea for years to come!
This is my first time investing in a pot like this and I couldn’t be happier! As a practitioner of Kung Fu, the time spent crafting my pot was certainly recognized and appreciated. Tea time has quickly become a luxury.
I ordered the purple clay pot from realzisha, and I'm happy to see that even in Kentucky I can get a genuine piece. A foreigner like me is surprised at how small it is, but I appreciate the rough and smooth texture and am currently drinking my favorite tea from Yunnan out of this lovely tea pot.
Two perfect cups!
I own 5 pots now by realzisha. I can only attest to their honesty, clays en craftsmanship. This is no exception. The pot is very, very well balanced when pouring tea. The lid doesn’t leak and fits perfectly. It’s an artpiece on its own. I tried it with snow mountain oolong and it tastes great. It will definitely not be my last pot I purchase from them. I recommend this artist and realzisha whole heartedly! It came beautiful wrapped to the Netherlands!
The clay is gorgeous, this is my first Zhuni. It's so smooth! I use it exclusively for roasted oolong and I love it. The teapot is a beautiful presence on the table, it's wonderful to hold and pour. The lid is perfect fit, a testament to the skill and care in making this pot. My deepest gratitude to Senior Craftsman Shi Yun and everyone at RealZisha. Thank you for being.
This teapot is a joy to behold. I waited to write this review because I wanted to let it get fully seasoned and it did not disappoint. This teapot feels great in the hand: the handle is great to hold and perfectly positioned to brace the lid as you pour the last few drops of tea. And the lid is a perfect fit! Absolutely no movement at all. The pot is well-balanced and fun to pour: the spout is pointed up and at an angle so the tea makes a beautiful arc as it flows out. The form is beautiful and makes for an elegant presence on the tea table. This is my first experience of huang jiang po ni clay and I wondered if it would mute the flavor more than I wanted it to. I had no reason to fear, I use this pot exclusively for young sheng pu-erh and it comes out full-flavored, not too sharp or bitter. Thank you Chen Hua Jun and everyone at RealZisha for making this possible. It brings me joy every day.
Beautiful round belly.
An incredible pot, beautiful to look at and a joy to use. I feel so lucky to have found this wonderful business. I’ve already bought two pots and will buy more in the years to come!

I love my new teapot! The craftsmanship is amazing—I’m very impressed with the quality. I’ll definitely be back for more.
Thank you!
Perfect Zhuni teapot. Exceed my high expectation. Craftsmanship is super high on this one. I will purchase more in the future. Thank you Realzisha!
Highest quality teapot I have. Smooth and fast pour
An excellent little pot. Both the clay and the construction of this teapot are of the highest quality. The form is well executed and very pleasing to look at. The pot is comfortable in the hand to hold. It is very light with a finely done thin wall. The lid fit is absolutely perfect and airtight when the vent hole is covered. The pour is smooth and quick. Teas brew fast, strong, and intensely aromatic in the Zhu Ni clay. From my use so far it seems particularly well suited to teas with a floral profile such as Dan Cong. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase and will definitely shop with Real Zisha again.
Again.. I’m so overwhelmed by the skill of the artisan. Lid fits tight, pour is strong and broad and fast. The clay is fantastic. It softens, but keeps the fresh notes of the tea. I own quite some Yixing by now, none of them master the skill or the effects of the clay as good as the 4 pots I bought here. Packaging is second to none. You can buy with full confidence. I can only recommend.
sorry, i put up the wrong photo with this review and i can't seem to delete it. The photo elongs to another great pot i bought from them, the Hong Jiang po ni. sorry about that.
i really love the xisha form. It's one of my favourites. The pour is fast and full and doesn't get clogged by tea leaves. The form is evenly round, the bottom is sooo beautiful made. The lid fits perfectly and the sending ( to the Netherlands) was very fast and very good packaged against handled wildly by post.
I tried Tie Guan Yin in it and it made the teasoup round, full without dulling the high notes too much. I love this clay! I have 2 more pots coming in today from Realzisha. I think that gives away how much i like and trust this company.
