An excellent little pot. Both the clay and the construction of this teapot are of the highest quality. The form is well executed and very pleasing to look at. The pot is comfortable in the hand to hold. It is very light with a finely done thin wall. The lid fit is absolutely perfect and airtight when the vent hole is covered. The pour is smooth and quick. Teas brew fast, strong, and intensely aromatic in the Zhu Ni clay. From my use so far it seems particularly well suited to teas with a floral profile such as Dan Cong. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase and will definitely shop with Real Zisha again.
