Excellent pot all around. Beautiful craftsmanship, nice clay. Piece of art.
She is so cute, and an amazing little teapot! Very well made and an absolute pleasure to use. If I am to get another zisha pot it would definitely be from here.
The entire process was smooth and wonderful! Everyone I spoke to was very nice and helpful. My pot also came out beautifully and I couldn’t be happier!
Beautiful piece of work ,,, such nice attention to detail ... pours nice ... feels nice . Thankyou !!!
This is such a beautiful pot. The carving and craftsmanship is stunning. The attention to detail and the clay quality is clear. 🙇♂️
Beautiful craftsmanship.
Beautifully crafted Chu Piao with excellent balance, a precise lid fit, and a clean, fast pour. The Zhu Sha clay has a lovely texture and character, and the pot feels exceptionally refined in hand. A superb teapot and a pleasure to use.
More than just a work of art. One of the best experiences on earth is having some great tea in one of these pots. I drink Phoenix Dan cong mi lan xiang. I appreciate the work put in by everyone involved.
Great quality and craftsmanship
Highly recommend, this is truly some of the best quality and excellent artistan craftsmanship. Was very fast delivery and easy to order, would be happy to order again!
this is my 24th teapot from real zisha. i really went for the clay this time, because i read Qing hui Zi Ni was a favourite clay in past times. Of course the pot is again, outstanding. No leaking, perfect fit, beautiful skilled made and handles very well and love the larger volume. i can understand this clay was a favourite. I tries with some dan congs and some pu-ehrs. Een though it it a zini type clay, it doesn’t mute the high and delicate flavors, whilst is does mute astringency. I think this pot wil be becoming a favourite very soon. Thank you again for a wonderful teapot!
Excellent Ai Han Wa by Fan Xiao Zhi in Zhu Sha. Beautiful proportions, clean workmanship and a very pleasant clay texture. At 120.3 mL, it is ideal for gongfu and performs especially well with yancha, adding body and smoothness while preserving aroma and minerality. A beautiful and highly functional Yixing pot.
Well made. Holds heat well. Good pour. Nice feel. Makes excellent tea.
This pot caught my eye due to its short, squat, adorable stature and silhouette, which I immediately fell in love with! I love the wide lid opening. This allows the user to easily load and remove tea leaves, and gives easy access to the inside of such a small volume pot. The large lid is easy to handle, and the lid knob is thoughtfully raised with a sculpted taper at the base, ensuring your fingers lock onto it with a sure grip.
This is my first Zhu Ni pot, and I love the feel of the smooth, leathery clay with heavy wavy creasing. The difference between other Zi Sha types can be easily observed and appreciated.
I purchased this pot to brew fresh Chinese green tea over the summer. The flavor of the green tea brewed in Zhu Ni is simply incredible. The fresh and nutty flavors of the tea are preserved, while the harsher, bitter flavors are rounded off for a balanced and harmonious steeping. I highly recommend any green tea lovers try a Zhu Ni pot for this application!
Shipping to the US was smooth and worry free. As always, Ian's communication through email is kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and quickly responsive.
Thank you again to Ian, Yi-Lei, and craftsman Shi Yun 石芸 for this cherished Ming Yuan Xu Bian 鸣远虚扁!
Absolutely beautiful pot, love the craftsmanship and design. Perfect in everyway, it will be used with joy and cherished.
beautiful form of the teapot. Elegant, handles well, does not leak, very well made. I love the fairy etched into it. The clay is suitable for various teas. I can only recommend!
nice and beautiful
Really impressed by this 87ml piece. Outstanding craftsmanship by Fan Xiao Zhi — classic Xi Shi lines, tight lid fit, and a strong, smooth pour. The granular texture of this Zhu Sha clay is beautiful in person. Very happy to add this one to my table!
Distinctive and very well-made Xi Shi. The "puffer fish" spout gives it a great character, and the pour is strong and clean. Excellent work by Master Gu Xiao Ming, and the Di Cao Qing clay has a very nice, deep texture.
Really loving this 85ml Jing Le. Fantastic detail work by Master Wang Xing, smooth pour, and top-quality Zhu Ni clay. Another great addition to my tea table!
Highly impressive work. The shape, the lid fit, and the water pour are all spot on. Xiao Mei Yao Zhu Ni is a remarkable clay that really highlights the high notes of light oolongs and shens. Master Shi Yun did a wonderful job on this Ai De Zhong. Thanks again for another great piece!
Very nice and usable teapot, fully handmade and pouring is excelletn
Best teapot from Master Zhang. Very nice
