This teapot's clay: Lu Ni (Green Clay)

A light, delicate green clay — the most breathable of the zisha clays — that cools quickly and keeps a brew fresh and clear. Best for lighter teas: Green, White, Yellow and gentler Oolong. Because zisha takes on a tea's character over time, the tradition is one pot, one tea.

About the shape

A low, steady square-bodied Yixing zisha teapot worked with the theme of Chinese bamboo — three-dimensional bamboo detailing runs across the body, handle and spout for a fresh, natural character. This one is semi-handmade in Yixing. Also known as a purple sand teapot.

Best tea for a Lu Ni Green Clay Teapot

As a Lu Ni green-clay pot, its light, breathable body is made for delicate teas. Brew a fresh Green tea, a White tea, a Yellow tea or a lighter Oolong. Following the one-pot-one-tea tradition, keep it for a single type once you choose.

Hand-made vs semi-handmade Yixing Zisha Teapots

Fully hand-made Zisha Teapots involve a long, complex craft, so their prices are naturally very high. Fully machine-made pots sit at the other extreme — mass-produced and, to our eye, without soul.

To find teapots that are a genuine pleasure to use, finely detailed, yet not overly costly, we chose semi-handmade Yixing Zisha Teapots — the body is shaped with the help of a mould, then the details are carved and finished entirely by hand. You keep the refined craftsmanship while the price stays fair. We do not sell fully machine-made teapots.

Whether semi-handmade or fully hand-made, every teapot we carry is made from genuine, natural Yixing Zisha ore clay — nothing artificial in the material.
