Incredible craftsmanship, not a single drop spilling from the lid when pouring! Way better quality then any F1 pot.
Fantastic Zini Clay quality, that enhances the mouthfeel, viscosity and aroma.
The packaging with the very beautiful Box, certificate and personal message, makes it even more special.
Highly recommend!
Beautiful teapot, fantastic clay texture, good pour, packaged very well
My recent tour to Yixing was nothing short of extraordinary—a truly immersive experience into the world of purple clay teapots that exceeded every expectation.
From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was warm, genuine, and deeply thoughtful. Our hosts welcomed us not as tourists, but as honored guests, eager to share their rich heritage. Each day brought new wonders: we explored the ancient purple clay mines, walked through time-worn kilns still in use today, and had the rare privilege of meeting grandmasters whose hands have shaped teapots with breathtaking artistry for decades. Watching their techniques up close—each gesture deliberate, each detail meaningful—was both humbling and inspiring.
Equally unforgettable was the food. Every evening, we gathered for farm-to-table dinners that felt like celebrations—fresh, seasonal dishes prepared with love and care. Local ingredients, beautifully presented, told their own story of Yixing’s deep connection to the land.
This tour was more than a trip—it was a cultural and sensory journey into craftsmanship, tradition, and community. I left with not only a deeper appreciation for Yixing teapots, but with a full heart, lasting memories, and new friendships. Highly recommended to anyone seeking authentic beauty, artistry, and connection.
I love the beautiful benshan luni shipao. Thank you Zhang Ke.
Beautiful teapot, made with amazing precision and attention to details. Lovely delicate shine. I enjoy using it.
