I'm stunned by the beauty of this pot and honored to have and use it! The craftsmanship is amazing and the clay is fantastic! Highly recommend!
I’m absolutely thrilled with my new Ming Lu teapot, crafted by the talented Chen Gui Zhi. The pot is made from rare Hong Jiangponi clay, this teapot is both stunning and incredibly functional. The craftsmanship is beautifully balanced, with a perfect lid fit and elegant form.
What truly sets it apart for me is how it enhances the flavor of the tea. The clay brings out rich, smooth, and nuanced notes I hadn’t tasted before. Every cup feels like a new experience. This pot is a work of art—both to look at and to brew with. Highly recommended!
i received the pot yesterday. wauw what great craftmanship. the pot is elegant en very thin walled. I already knew the clay, because i won a smaller pot as well. I just waned a bit more volume. It does not dissappoint. it doenst mute the fresh flavours, whilst muting a little astringincy. i tried it with prganic black tea. Earl grey to be specific. It also tastes amazing with dan cong and black tea with osmanthus flowers.
This is my very first fully handmade teapot, crafted by Senior Craftsman Chen Yue Fei (陈跃飞), and I couldn’t be happier with it.
First impressions: The packaging was outstanding—10/10. From the moment I opened the box, I could tell everything was packed with great care. It arrived safe and sound, and I had no concerns at all about damage during transit.
When I took the teapot out, it looked so clean and precise that it almost seemed machine-made at first glance. But on closer inspection, I could clearly see the subtle details and perfect imperfections that make it truly handmade. It has a beautiful character and presence—10/10.
I brewed an aged white tea that I know very well and have tested in many different teapots and gaiwans. This teapot performed exactly as I hoped—it delivered excellent taste and mouthfeel. Another 10/10.
I also tested the pour, both with just water and with tea. The flow was smooth and controlled every time. Covering the air hole immediately stopped the pour with barely any dribble—again, 10/10.
Overall: I’m incredibly satisfied. As my first fully handmade teapot, this piece exceeded all my expectations. I truly appreciate the craftsmanship of Chen Yue Fei and the care taken in shipping. It’s a functional work of art, and I’m proud to own it.
Thank you to the artisan and the Real Zisha team for making this possible.
