Jianshui "Big Tree" Teapot - 340ml

What can I say about this chunky boy that the pics don't tell? This is a fun pot! We saw it and knew someone would like it. In Jianshui they like to make pots look like trees. What's wrong with that? Nothing. It's just for fun. Unfortunately there is a small chip on the edge of the lid. We discounted the price a little bit for that.

Jianshui teapots are amazing to brew with. We believe the quality of the clay speaks for itself. Our hope is that as many people as possible have the opportunity to purchase these teapots and brew their tea with them.

This was handmade by a group of artists who work together. It was single fired and unglazed. This is a true clay which lacks any sand. The natural minerals in the clay will enhance the flavor of your tea. Jianshui is in Yunnan, and the clay used in this teapot comes from the same mountains that grow puerh tea trees. We appreciate that connection. We blogged about this unique town here.

You are purchasing the teapot that you see. We only have the one for sale. The lid fits and it seals well. It pours fast and easy. This teapot has a 9 hole filter.

This teapot is polished, black, Jianshui clay and is in a "Dragon's Egg" style. The teapot is made by hand.

This is a big teapot! You can brew tea for a lot of people with it. It measures 14cm from tip of spout to end of handle and is around 11cm tall.
