This is an yixing teapot made from the rarer red clay known as zhuni 朱泥. As you can see from the photos, zhuni clay has a slight bumpy appearance. The clay will develop a shine from use. Zhuni clay is prized for its ability to bring out the best flavours. It is also the most difficult clay to fire as it is more likely to break during the process.
You can read more about zhuni clay in our blog entry here.

This pot is known as "half-handmade" as the sculptor uses a molding tool to shape the body, and uses his hands for the handle, spout, holes, and smoothing out the body. In fact, no machine was used in it's shaping as the use of the tool is entirely manual.
You can read more about half handmade teapots in our blog entry here.

This teapot was made by Lin Hanpeng and Chen Chunhong Studio. The stamp at the bottom of the teapot may vary from that shown in the photos. The teapot stamp may have the mark of Lin Hanpeng, Chen Chunhong or the mark of Mud&Leaves in Chinese Characters: 泥葉堂。 All three stamps are used exclusively in connection with Lin Hanpeng and Chen Chunhong Studio.

Preparation Before Use
Yixing Teapots should be prepared before using the first time. This is called "opening the pot". It removes the dust from firing the teapot.
We recommend rinsing the teapot under warm water two or three times, then filling the teapot with boiling water and emptying it out two to three times. After this the teapot is ready for use.

absolutely love this teapot

The teapot came in today and we could not wait to try it out. I was a bit worried about the international shipping, but the item was packed to withstand any potential shipping abuse. The teapot itself is very well build, the lid fits nicely and the pouring flow is excellent. We have made some Sheng Puerh tea in it and it tasted wonderfully new to us. The price might be a bit on a high-end but if you are looking for a good Zhuni clay teapot, you should definitely go for it.

the tea comes out beautifully

The teapot has all the attributes of a well-designed and well-crafted Yixing teapot. Despite the use of high shrinkage Zhuni clay, the lid fits nicely on the body such that the pour is stopped when the ventilation hole is closed off with a finger. The minute bumps on the pot's surface provide a nice tactile feel. We use the pot to infuse Eight Immortals and Golden Cassia oolong in gongfu brewing style, and the tea comes out beautifully.
