This clay contains a lot of iron and has excellent heat retention and breathability. Zisha is a special type of pottery clay produced only in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province. Zisha is classified into several types depending on the place of burial and the color after firing, but generally, it has high plasticity, allowing for beautiful shaping of the overall form as well as the details. Unglazed Zisha teapots contain a lot of iron, have excellent heat retention and breathability, and are said to absorb the bitterness and astringency of tea, mellowing the taste of the tea. Due to its fine pore structure, it maintains the color, aroma, and taste of the tea well. Suitable for high-temperature brewed oolong tea, Tieguanyin, Pu'er tea, etc., teas with a high degree of fermentation. ~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ Thank you for viewing. #TableCoordination #Chinoiserie #ChineseTeaSet #Teapot #ChineseTableware #Taipei #ChineseTea #OolongTea #WesternTableware #JapaneseTableware #Tableware #PineBambooPlum #ZishaTeapot #Pottery #Porcelain #Wedgwood #WEDGWOOD #RAYNARD #Raynaud #Ginori #Bernardaud #Herend #RoyalCopenhagen #Hermes #MAISON DE FAMILLE #MaisonDeFamille #Mosel #Villeroy&Boch #Lalique #Hutschenreuther #Baccarat #RoyalCrownDerby #Minton #Augarten #RoyalAlbert #Minton #OkuraTōen
