its again, a gorgeous crafted pot. I really like the shape and i was very curious if there was a different effect on the tea then from the Xiao Mei Yao Zhu Ni clay. And there is. I tried it with dan Cong ( phoenix) and with the duck shit dan Cong. It keeps the floral notes and the complexity of the tea. For me the XMYZhu Ni makes the tea crisp and every floral and fruity note is detactable, whereas the Zhu Sha also keeps the notes, but makes the experience softer. I really really like this effect. I am very happy with my purchase!
