This Lixing (pear shape) is a classic, with historically many variations. This is modelled on a Qing dynasty pot. This pot is wood fired.
This is made from a high quality aged Zini clay, called Zhong Cao Qing, from Yixing's Huanglongshan. It was collected in the early 2000's by someone who deals with small batches of original ore. He stone ground and processed it without any additives (other than water!). This works very well for puerh, wuyi yancha and fermented teas., slightly rounding the rougher edges, bringing fuller mouthfeel while still allowing the character of the tea to shine.
Inside is a single hole filter. These are half-handmade (made with the aid of a form to aid in shaping the body, handle and spout).
EDXRF analysis of clay provided also, showing no additives.
