Key Selling Points – Detailed Breakdown

The De Zhong Form: A Symbol of Virtue
The De Zhong style is one of the most revered and ancient shapes in the Zisha canon. Its name, “Virtue Bell,” reflects its dignified, bell-like silhouette—broad-shouldered, straight-walled, and radiating a sense of unwavering stability and inner moral strength. This form is a timeless tribute to the ideals of traditional Chinese philosophy.
Golden Elegance of Duan Ni Clay
Meticulously fashioned from authentic Yixing Duan Ni (Buff Clay), this teapot showcases a soft, golden-beige hue that brightens any tea space. This clay is particularly celebrated for its ability to mellow and sweeten the profile of high-fired Oolongs, Raw Pu-erh, and White Teas. Over time, your care will be rewarded as the clay develops a rich, luminous patina, telling the unique story of your tea journey.
Artisanal Storytelling through Ke Hui (Carving)
This De Zhong teapot is elevated by the exquisite art of Hand-Carving (Ke Hui). A skilled artisan has meticulously engraved a delicate scene—perhaps a bamboo grove symbolizing resilience or a classical poetic couplet—directly onto the clay body. This transformative touch adds a layer of narrative depth and unique artistry, ensuring your teapot is a one-of-a-kind work of functional art.
Generous 280ml Capacity for Sharing
With its substantial 280ml volume, this teapot is perfectly suited for longer brewing sessions or serving 2-4 tea companions. The wide base and full body allow tea leaves to unfurl completely, unlocking their full aromatic potential and facilitating a rich, layered infusion that can be enjoyed over multiple pours.

Craftsmanship & Call to Action
Offered in both fully and semi-handmade versions, each piece is a testament to the skill of the Yixing artisan. The De Zhong’s robust construction and precision-made spout ensure a smooth, aerated pour that is as pleasurable to execute as it is to behold.
