Tie Sha Zhu Ni 铁砂朱泥 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, only certain few 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.
Zhu Jie is the Craftsman whom we trust and also, adept at crafting with Tie Sha Zhu Ni 铁砂朱泥。
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.
beautiful elegant piece of functional art! will be making tea with this as long as i am able :)
Love our teapot. The craftsmanship is excellent and every curve is beautiful. The size is also perfect for my wife and I to enjoy tea together.
I have several old F1 pots, that I absolutely adore.
But, they can't hold a candle to this Realzisha pot! The clay is so very smooth.
The lid fit is the best that I've ever seen. I have to be careful not to lift the whole pot when the lid seal is wet because of the superb fit.
The spout to handle symmetry is impeccable! When you cover the hole in the lid, the pour almost completely stops. None of my other pots have a lid seal this precise.
Even the box it came in is a piece of art.
The packaging was more than adequate to get this pot across the world unharmed.
Care was taken along every step of this pots life!
I can't recommend realzisha enough. If you're on the fence, don't be. Go ahead and buy one of these awesome teapots!
Great clay, excellent craftsmanship, sturdy, very nice water flow, does not leak. As always, packaging and delivery was excellent, our postman throws the parcels from the street to the front door (really) and never I got damaged pot from Realzisha. Thank you.
First session with my zisha teapot.
I'm so glad that I can enjoy a FMH teapot, which brings me joy and peace.
Many thanks to realzisha team and Mr. Zhang Huan for crafting this beauty.
