Lab Tested 125ml Fang Xia - Zini Yuan Zhu (round Pearl) Yixing Teapot - Hot Selling [wcvUx1MY]

This shape is based on a Qing Dynasty pot.

This Zini original ore came from a high quality aged zini clay, called Zhong Cao Qing, from Yixing's Huanglongshan.  It was collected in the early 2000's by someone who deals with small batches of original ore.  He ground it by stone and processed it without any additives.  This works very well for puerh, wuyi yancha and fermented teas., slightly rounding the rougher edges, bringing fuller mouthfeel while still allowing the character of the tea to shine.

This pot is half-handmade - we created a form for the body and lid to allow the potter to recreate these shapes accurately and with regularity.  This also helps to keep the price down a lot more than fully-handmade pots. The walls are medium-thin and the pour is fast and smooth.

Inside is a single hole filter.

EDXRF analysis of clay provided also, showing no additives were used in the clay
