Description
The De Zhong profile is an architectural staple of Yixing art, featuring a cylindrical body with a flat lid and a well-proportioned handle and spout. This vessel is crafted from Zi Ni originating from the prestigious Huang Long Shan mines, a material prized for its excellent breathability and heat retention. Its physical structure ensures a steady, powerful pour and a comfortable grip. Due to the clay's ability to "season" or absorb tea oils over time, this teapot is a versatile choice for enhancing the body and texture of various teas, particularly aged puerh or roasted oolongs.
