Know before you buy
Qinghui duan ni is a specific type of Zisha clay known for its porous structure, which absorbs the oils and aromas of tea over time. This process helps to season the pot, eventually enhancing the flavor profile of the specific tea you brew in it.
The 9-hole outlet is designed to act as a built-in filter, preventing tea leaves from clogging the spout while ensuring a steady, smooth flow. It is particularly effective for loose-leaf teas that expand significantly during steeping.
Because Zisha clay is porous and retains the essence of the tea brewed within it, it is best to dedicate this teapot to one specific type of tea, such as Oolong, Pu-erh, or black tea. Using it for multiple varieties can lead to flavor cross-contamination.
Avoid using soap or detergents, as the clay will absorb these chemicals. Simply rinse the teapot with hot water after each use and allow it to air dry completely with the lid off to prevent any residual moisture buildup.
The certificate serves as documentation of the teapot's origin and the authenticity of the Zisha clay used. It confirms that the piece was crafted by a skilled artisan, ensuring you are receiving an authentic, handmade item rather than a mass-produced replica.
