As a Kung Fu practitioner, I can understand the level of time commitment it would take to craft with such expertise. At first I was quite skeptical on whether this pot would enhance my tea experience. I have never used a Yixing clay pot before. Then I took my first sip. Oh yeah, forever a fan of this. Not only was the aroma heightened but the taste had a new dimension. I’m hooked. Every time I make a new batch I smile with delight on the taste, the experience, the feel, and my admiration of the skill level to craft such an item. No regrets here. In fact, I’d like to see if my class would chip in as a present to our Shaolin Grandmaster one day for all that he has taught us and the rest of the western hemisphere. I will be back for another purchase one day.
I ordered the purple clay pot from realzisha, and I'm happy to see that even in Kentucky I can get a genuine piece. A foreigner like me is surprised at how small it is, but I appreciate the rough and smooth texture and am currently drinking my favorite tea from Yunnan out of this lovely tea pot.
Two perfect cups!
I own 5 pots now by realzisha. I can only attest to their honesty, clays en craftsmanship. This is no exception. The pot is very, very well balanced when pouring tea. The lid doesn’t leak and fits perfectly. It’s an artpiece on its own. I tried it with snow mountain oolong and it tastes great. It will definitely not be my last pot I purchase from them. I recommend this artist and realzisha whole heartedly! It came beautiful wrapped to the Netherlands!
The clay is gorgeous, this is my first Zhuni. It's so smooth! I use it exclusively for roasted oolong and I love it. The teapot is a beautiful presence on the table, it's wonderful to hold and pour. The lid is perfect fit, a testament to the skill and care in making this pot. My deepest gratitude to Senior Craftsman Shi Yun and everyone at RealZisha. Thank you for being.
