The "Pan Hu" Yixing teapot is an exquisite embodiment of classic Chinese teaware tradition. With a modest capacity of 125cc, it is perfectly sized for individual enjoyment or for sharing a prized brew with a friend. This teapot is crafted from the revered "Ben Shan Zi Ni" clay, also known as Benshan Purple Sand, which is celebrated for its fine texture and rich, earthy color that deepens with age and use.
The "Pan Hu," named after the legendary tale of Pan, the Judge of the Underworld who was known for his fairness and wisdom, mirrors these qualities in its balanced design and the equitable brewing it provides. The material, Ben Shan Zi Ni, is known for its excellent heat retention properties and its subtle influence on the tea's flavor, enhancing and mellowing it with each steeping.
The teapot features a simple, rounded form that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional, providing a comfortable grip and an effortless pour. The spout is designed to prevent drips, ensuring a clean and elegant tea service.
Each of our "Pan Hu" teapots comes with a certificate of authenticity, issued by the author, affirming its genuine craftsmanship and origin.

Owning this "Pan Hu" teapot is not merely an acquisition of a vessel for tea; it is an investment in a piece of art that brings with it the rich narrative of Yixing's teapot heritage. It stands as a functional testament to the craftsmanship and timeless beauty inherent in Yixing pottery.
