About Yixing Zisha Teapots Zisha is a special type of clay found only in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province. Zisha is classified into several types depending on the location of the deposit and the color after firing, but generally, it has high plasticity, allowing for beautiful shaping of the entire form as well as the details. 【Features】 1. Absorbs impurities and enhances the flavor of tea. Zhu mud kyusu (teapots) are said to suppress bitterness through the reaction of iron oxide and tannins, mellowing the taste of the tea. 2. High heat retention, and it doesn't get hot to the touch when hot water is poured in. 3. The flavor develops with long use. There is a term called "Yang Hu" (nurturing the teapot), and with long use, a unique luster appears on the surface, making it beautiful. Also, the inside absorbs the tea's components and strengthens the tea's aroma. 4. Suitable for brewing ripe Pu'er tea, Oolong tea, white tea, and black tea. How to Use Zisha Tea Utensils 1. First, pour hot water into the kyusu (teapot) to warm it up. (Warming all tea utensils is fundamental.) 2. Next, transfer the hot water to the Chahai (pitcher) and warm the Chahai. 3. Similarly, warm the Chahai (tea cups). 4. Put tea leaves into the kyusu (teapot). 5. Then, pour hot water from a slightly higher position. (So that the tea leaves open up by including air) 6.
