Clay, shape, and pour: the three things that matter, all present here. The 200cc capacity suits solo gongfu sessions.
Crafted in red clay, smooth to the touch with an inviting color. Purple clay remains the yixing standard for its balanced, forgiving brew — the photos do not exaggerate. It turns out handle gives a secure three-finger grip, even when the pot is full. Lid and body were clearly made for each other — the fit tells you, as it should be. Daily use is the whole point — this pot was made for it; it is the kind of detail you only get from handmade work. The clay remembers every tea, so the hundredth pot tastes better than the first — the photos do not exaggerate.
It packs well for travel too — small pots are the easiest to bring along. The best review is a pot that gets used every day.
