A perfect blend of the classic Shipiao shape (trapezoidal body, wide base, low centre of gravity) and a bamboo motif
Details: The handle, the spout and the lid knob are all shaped like the nodes of old bamboo — hard and sinewy, yet wonderfully graceful.
Meaning: Bamboo stands for the integrity of the noble-minded: upright, resilient and open-hearted (its stem is hollow).
The most common and most sought-after zisha clay, prized for its balanced character and its deep, antique purple-brown colour.
Properties: Outstanding breathability and a rich mineral content that "seasons" the pot quickly and makes the flavour and aroma of the tea deeper and fuller.
The surface is fine, with tiny mineral grains evenly distributed; the longer the pot is used, the more it takes on a smooth, glossy chicken-liver patina.
Compact and refined, especially suited to drinking tea alone (1 person) or as a pair (2 people).
This capacity makes it easy to control the water temperature and the steeping time, so the tea is always piping hot and at its best.
Nine round filter holes, evenly drilled inside the spout.
Function: Keeps the pour strong and rounded and prevents clogging by spent leaves, so the tea comes into the cup clear and smooth.
Grip: The bamboo-shaped handle is not only beautiful but also grips well, making every pour steady and full of artistry.
Cut-off: The spout is precisely crafted, cutting the flow off cleanly with no drips onto the tea tray.
Seal: The lid sits absolutely flush with the rim, holding the tea's delicate aroma inside the pot.
