Aged Clay, Shui Ping Yixing Teapot (ZiSha: ZiNi)

Super nice Yixing pot

I use this for my raw Puerh teas. I seasoned it first with just water then did a 30 min simmer with tea. It smoothed out my raw Puerh so nice! I still get the nice high notes but dials back some bitterness. What a great buy!

What a pot for the price!

This Zini pot is a delight. I have dedicated it to medium aged raw Puerh and it is dreamy. Softens the bitter notes, thickens the tea, and accentuates the butteryness of the brew whilst not taking too much (except on the first few brews which you have to expect as it seasons, and in my books is a sign of good clay). And just on the pot-side of things. It is joyful. Lovely deep rich Zini color, really nicely made, great balance and a nice pour. For under $150 I genuinely don't see how you could find better. Get it before it goes up is my advice.

It works
