The allure of a level kettle

The horizontal teapot may not be visually striking, but it is pleasing to the eye over time. Many seasoned tea drinkers, after trying various fancy teapots, eventually return to the horizontal teapot—it is the first choice when truly "drinking tea seriously."

Why do seasoned tea drinkers prefer horizontal teapots?

• Small spout for easy tea pouring: The teapot's spout is designed for easy pouring of tea without spilling.
• A low-profile teapot helps retain aroma: The low-profile teapot body allows the tea aroma to be better concentrated.
• Quick water flow: The water flows smoothly and powerfully, leaving a line when the tea soup hits the ground.
• Clean water absorption: No sizzling or floating, no tea dripping.

【Characteristics of the Clay】

The Da Hong Pao clay is characterized by its deep, rich color, hard texture, high density, and fine pores. Containing trace minerals, it not only boasts a rich color but also provides excellent patina for teapots. Its understated yet classic luster, combined with the rustic glaze, creates a radiant glow, embodying the millennia-old culture of Zisha pottery.

【Usage Recommendations】

The clay used for brewing Da Hong Pao tea is particularly suitable for brewing highly aromatic teas such as Dancong, Oolong, and Wuyi rock tea. Its small 180cc capacity is perfect for one person or two people, allowing for precise control of the tea's concentration and fully showcasing the aroma and flavor of the tea.

Tips for nurturing your teapot: Before use, boil the teapot in clean water to season it. After each use, rinse it with clean water and let it air dry naturally. By consistently using the same type of tea to nurture the teapot, a warm patina will gradually form on the surface over time, further showcasing the beauty of the Zisha clay.
