Product detailed description
Overview
High-quality handmade Nixing teapot with carved patterns. The teapot is made from Nixing clay (坭兴), which originates from Guangxi province in southwest China. Gaiwan has an inner clay filter. This unglazed tea ware not only enhances the taste experience of drinking tea but also helps to preserve the pottery craft for future generations.
History and production
The history of this pottery dates back Tang Dynasty (618-907) and it is one of the four most famous types of Chinese tea wares. The nixing teapot was produced by Yuxing, Shanshan's former classmate, who has been making tea pottery for almost two decades. She specializes in handcrafting tea ware from the Nixing Region (泥性) and works in a small family pottery workshop in the Guangxi Province (广西).
Before use
For better taste, we suggest preparing one type or a similar type of tea in your teapot (e.g., non-fermented teas such as shengcha 生茶 and Yunnan white tea 白茶 or fermented/oxidized teas such as shucha 熟茶, Yunnan red tea 红茶, or oolong tea 乌龙). We also suggest to boil the teapot in hot water for about 20-30 minutes with your preffered tea. This will help to get rid of residual dust and dirt and better adapt the teapot to your favourite type of tea. The enhancement of tea taste should be experienced after 4-5 tea sessions, so be patient.
