( Liufang Lianzi Teapot)

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

The clay used to make this teapot has been aged for ten years and comes from the Huanglongshan area.

This teapot is half-handmade, shaped with a six-part mold used to assemble its body. Despite the use of a mold, achieving precise symmetry requires considerable skill.

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 and clay of this pot are highly versatile, making it suitable for most types of tea.

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?

We’ve tested this pot with roasted Wulongs, aged Wulongs, and aged Sheng Puer (and also Shu Puer), and both the shape and the 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 according to your palate.

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.
