Description
The Yin Piao is a sophisticated architectural take on the traditional triangular teapot form. Its height of only 4.3 cm creates a wide internal floor, which is technically advantageous for teas with large or long leaves that require horizontal space to expand fully without crowding. Crafted from authentic Zi Ni from the Huang Long Shan region, this vessel offers high porosity and excellent thermal stability. This clay is particularly effective at "rounding" the flavor profile of tea, making it an ideal choice for aged puerh, roasted oolongs, or black teas. The 100ml capacity is designed for precision brewing where a high leaf-to-water ratio is preferred.
