Tie Sha Zhu Ni is a Yuan Kuan type, i.e. unadulterated and original ZhuNi type.
It is not a type of mixed clay. It is an adulterated ZhuNi material PICKED AT SITE.
Read on.
Usually,
1) Ore pickers will pick at site but avoid: ZhuNi ores that appear to have too obviously high IRON content,
2) and/or after picking, they will try to select out parts high in iron content to be omitted during the ore processing into bricks of clay and subsequently for pot making.
Such avoidance of working with ZhuNi with too high iron content is because, ZhuNi with too high iron content will be DIFFICULT to work with. Such high iron content clay is not sticky and very difficult to form up into a pot.
However, for Tie Sha Zhu Ni, certain families of Artisans in YiXing: they will specially AND purposely pick at site: ZhuNi ores that have obviously HIGH IRON content.,
AND these families of Artisans know how to work with and form up pots with them.
Tie Sha Zhu Ni pots are treasured because they are amazing in steeping and brewing up Oolong teas, High Fragrance teas and Dark Pu-Er tea types.
You can see the high iron content by virtue of the multiple black dots as visible throughout the surfaces of this pot.
Not easy to wait for one to appear. Please cherish it.
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.
i received the pot yesterday and after opening te pot for use, i tried Tie Gyan Yin oolong in it. It transformed the tea beautifully, in a soft , full and round teasoup. The lid fits excellent and no spilling! The pour is full and fast. The pot is so beautifully made i am sooo very happy with it. I can only recommend whole heartilly this company and its artisans. Friendly, honest, using very good clay, very good packaging and fast sending. Buy with confidence. ( i bought 4 pots already of them ;-) ).
Such a beautiful teapot!
Shipping ist extremely fast and the customer service ist amazing.
Can't recommend this shop enough.
