Yixing Tea PotThis fully handmade yixing tea pot is one-of-a-kind and available while supplies last
Crafted By Zhuang Yaxin
This pot is an exercise in the dynamic tension that defines masterwork yixing - a harmonious pot body, perfectly balanced and perfectly smooth, with wild wave carvings adorning the body. Yet above the waves is a flat perfect pot lid, containing the tempest- a playful way to evoke the flavor and aromatics contained within the pot as they brew.
The whole piece is masterfully rendered by award-winning Zhuang Yaxin in original deposit Zi Ni clay that can only grow deeper and more lustrous with every brew session.
