Jianshui Zi Tao Pottery
These teaware are handmade in Jianshui, Yunnan, China. We visited Wan Yao village where this teaware is traditionally made. We wrote about the experience in our travel blog. Jian Shui Zi Tao teaware are made from 5 uniquely colored clays sourced in the mountains outside Jianshui. They are single fired and never glazed.
This is a true clay and lacks any sand which allows them to be hand polished to give a shiny appearance. The natural minerals in the clay will enhance the flavor of your tea. Jianshui teaware are made from clay sourced in the same region where puerh tea trees grow. They work well for puerh, but can be used for all teas.
