This teapot was crafted by Ms Shen Chai Er who is also the wife of Master Wang Fu Jun. Apparently she dips into her husbands stock of valuable clay to create her teapots.
This teapot is made of Zisha from Huanglong Mt and is considered of good grade clay.
Cozy Teahouse was very nice to offer "seasoning" my teapot so that I can start brewing tea immediatly without going through the tedious process of adding tofu, sugarcane and tealeaves.
Right now the clay is in it's "Virgin" state where the surface is totally matt with no shine and a bit sandy to the hand. I am dedicating this teapot to brewing Pu-Er as the walls are thick which is excellent for those long hot brews and because the colour seasons well with Pu-Er.
Enjoy the pics of this large and heavy Zisha Teapot. It feels and looks so masculine that I absolutely love it. Watch out for Mrs Zhuni in the next installment.
