Xu Mao – Zhu Ni Yixing Teapot Antique Style 160ml

The Xumao Teapot takes its name from its distinctive lid, which resembles the traditional bamboo hats worn in ancient China. With its elegant silhouette, flowing lines, and balanced proportions, the teapot reflects the refined spirit of traditional Chinese literati aesthetics while combining beauty with everyday functionality. Whether displayed on a tea table or used as a daily tea companion, it embodies the enduring charm of traditional Yixing craftsmanship.

Fully handcrafted from authentic Zhuni clay, the Xumao Teapot is prized for its fine texture and naturally high iron content, which develops into a vibrant reddish color after firing. With regular use, the surface gradually forms a smooth, lustrous patina and becomes increasingly rich in character over time. Due to Zhuni's exceptionally high shrinkage rate and its tendency to warp or crack during firing, successfully crafting a handmade Zhuni teapot requires considerable skill and experience, making each finished piece especially valuable.

The interior features a spherical filter hole design that allows for a smooth, even pour with a clean water cutoff while helping retain the tea's aroma. It is particularly well suited for brewing Oolong tea, Pu-erh tea, and Qimen Ancha, allowing their flavors and fragrances to develop beautifully. Whether enjoyed personally, gifted to a fellow tea enthusiast, or added to a collection, the Xumao Teapot is a refined expression of traditional craftsmanship and tea culture.
