The characteristics of a Zisha teapot are that when you brew tea in it, the bitterness and impurities are absorbed by the teapot, making the tea taste better. This is a characteristic due to the material and firing method, and it is also a common feature of the unglazed Tokoname, Bizen, and Shigaraki ware in Japan. However, the effect is considered to be the best with Zisha teapots. You will be convinced if you compare the taste of tea brewed under the same conditions, using your usual teapot and a Zisha teapot. The main features are: 1. Absorbs impurities and enhances the taste of tea. 2. High heat retention, and it doesn't feel hot to the touch when hot water is poured in. 3. The taste improves with long use. There is a term called "Yang Hu" (nurturing the pot), and with long use, the surface develops a unique luster and becomes beautiful. Also, the inside absorbs the tea components and enhances the aroma of the tea. #ChineseTeaWare #TeaSet #TeaUtensils #ChineseTea #Teapot #Yixing #Kyusu #Teapot #TeaWare #TaiwaneseTea #ZishaPot #ZhuNi #Teapot
