(Julun Teapot)

This studio crafted these pots from pure Yixing clay, without the addition of any additives. Their pots are half-handmade.

This pot uses Xiao Mei Yao Zhuni Dahongpao clay. After firing, it takes on a richer, deeper red tone than regular Zhuni clay. The material is exceptionally pure, as the ore is carefully hand-selected, and it contains a higher concentration of iron oxide, contributing to its distinctive colour and texture.

While the pots from this studio are not entirely perfect, their craftsmanship is exquisite. When compared with older teapots from Factory One or earlier periods, the craftsmanship of this studio’s modern pieces shows remarkable improvement, particularly in the precision of the lid seal and the smoothness of the pour.

The shape of this pot is very versatile. Since it can accommodate all kinds of tea leaves thanks to its wide mouth. For the most part, the lids on this studio’s pots fit tightly and seal well, though a slight drip may occur if you tilt the pot too quickly to a vertical position with certain shapes.

What teas pair with this clay?

I’ve tested this pot with Oolongs, Red tea and various kinds of Sheng Puer, and both the shape and clay perform beautifully across different teas.
That said, I recommend experimenting with different teas to find which ones pair best with the clay. In the end, it’s the tea that decides which teapot suits it best. So enjoy the process of finding the perfect match

Opening the teapot (before first usage)
Since these teapots are brand new, they may have some powder inside (this is quartz sand used during firing to prevent the lid from sticking to the body). There may also be traces of clay residue. Rinse the pot with boiling water 2 or 3 times, or until the water runs clean.
