Craftsman Gu Xiao Ming 顾小明 thanks you dearest friends for your grandest support to the honest and dedicated Craftsladies and Craftsmen left to fend the Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art.

Enjoy his diligence, superb, classic handwork with this Jian Liu De Zhong, and let his work accompany you on your tea journey!

Explained, https://www.realzisha.com/blogs/news/actual-zisha-landscape-at-yixing , the Craftsman by selling his hard-worked ZiSha craft at $190-$240, $45-$65 goes to the cost of the craft, inclusive of the fees for the firing for the kiln operator (three times per pot), the packaging boxes, and between $32 to $52 for the clay (Zi Ni Di Cao Qing, Duan Ni and upwards) used per pot. Craftsman takes 3 days (fastest 2.5days) to craft a pot. Out of 12 pots he makes a month of 30days, 9 pots will survive the kiln firing successfully. Out of 9 pots, a Craftsman on average sells 7 pots per month. For ZiSha models/designs that are very challenging and more complicated to craft, time taken will be longer, and the failure rate will be higher as well. Zhu Ni pots have higher failure rates than Zi Ni and Duan Ni pots too. Our Craftsmen are crazily committed to the cause of Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art and their strictness with their craft and dedication earn our respect. We give a big Thank You all of these Craftsmen, for they are saving what is our common precious tea culture: Tea + Fully-Handmade ZiSha Art and Craft.

An excellent introduction into the tradition of my Chinese friends

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!

Wauw! Great balance, great craftmanship

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!

Small but Mighty

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.

Pure Joy

This teapot is a joy to behold. I waited to write this review because I wanted to let it get fully seasoned and it did not disappoint. This teapot feels great in the hand: the handle is great to hold and perfectly positioned to brace the lid as you pour the last few drops of tea. And the lid is a perfect fit! Absolutely no movement at all. The pot is well-balanced and fun to pour: the spout is pointed up and at an angle so the tea makes a beautiful arc as it flows out. The form is beautiful and makes for an elegant presence on the tea table. This is my first experience of huang jiang po ni clay and I wondered if it would mute the flavor more than I wanted it to. I had no reason to fear, I use this pot exclusively for young sheng pu-erh and it comes out full-flavored, not too sharp or bitter. Thank you Chen Hua Jun and everyone at RealZisha for making this possible. It brings me joy every day.
