Handmade Yun Si Fang Wood-fired Yixing Teapot (ZiSha: DuanNi)

Love this teapot!!

I was looking for my first quality clay teapot and as soon as I saw this unique one, I knew I had to order it! The name, the shape, design...all so perfect. And in person, the details and workmanship is exquisite!! Between Misha's kind warm welcome email, to the quick shipping, to the personalized handwritten note from Chris enclosed, customer service from Path of Cha was amazing every step of the way. Coincidentally, Chris is a mind reader ;) In his note, he wrote that he hoped the teapot will bring me joy with every brew. When I placed my order, that's exactly what I was hoping for - for this teapot to bring a spark of joy to my tea sessions...and it really does!!

Surprisingly beautiful

I have scanned many websites looking at and comparing teaware. I must say...when I first found path of cha I scrolled right past this one many times. After considering that it may have a place in my routine I decided to give it a shot. It arrived at my porch today. How wonderful of a surprise when I opened the box. This is a little smaller than I expected but far more beautiful than I could have imagined. I love the light etching of the flowers. I was skeptical of this in the photos but it is quite aptly executed as a study of understatement using line. After holding it, I dont know how I would go about capturing the effect properly with a camera. It is so subtle that you cant really get the effect through the lens...I guess you just have to buy one. I am very happy I did.

Squarely Cute

Teapot is cute with its square design, clay has pleasant tactile feell, and its subtle carvings enhance the overall look. I dedicated this pot to shou puehr and thus far, tis auspicious beginnings. 🫖🙏🏻
