Together, the name blends the dignity of antiquity with a warm wish that everything goes just as you hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cylindrical body flares gently toward its base, with crisp rings at the rim and foot. The flat lid carries a bridge-shaped knob with ruyi-cloud heads at each end, and a matching sculpted detail crowns the top of the handle. A short, straight spout gives a direct pour. One side is incised with a graceful spray of bamboo, signed with the maker's inscription and seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Clay: Zhu Ni\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZhu Ni (along with the broader Hong Ni family) is known for its delicate texture and striking appearance. After firing, it features a beautiful color that ranges from bright orange to deep red. When showered with hot water, the clay beautifully comes alive, quickly flushing to a vibrant, bright red that sometimes exhibits a subtle, wandering purple glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZhu Ni is characterized by its high density and low porosity. Because of this dense structure, the clay does not absorb the tea's fragrance. Instead, it acts to lock in and retain the delicate aromas of the tea leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its exceptional ability to preserve fragrance, Zhu Ni is perfectly suited for highly aromatic teas. We especially recommend it for light oolongs (such as Tieguanyin and Dancong) and Pu'er.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearn more about Zhu Ni and other Yixing clays in our \u003ca href=\"\/zh-hans\/blogs\/zisha-teapot-knowledges\/the-soul-of-the-teapot-a-guide-to-zisha-clay-types\"\u003eguide to Zisha clay types\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"隐庐居 Hidden Brews Teahouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46400697368711,"sku":null,"price":249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/4798\/7847\/files\/lht5-DSC09356.jpg?v=1793593979","url":"https:\/\/www.hiddenbrews.com\/zh-hans\/products\/handmade-yixing-zisha-teapot-ru-yi-han-wa-180ml-zhu-ni","provider":"隐庐居 Hidden Brews Authentic Yixing Zisha Teapots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
