Zi Ni De Zhong Teapot 180ml with Hand Carving | Virtue Bell Yixing Zisha

Embody the virtue and integrity of a scholar with our Zi Ni De Zhong Teapot. The “De Zhong,” or “Virtue Bell,” shape is a pinnacle of Zisha art, revered for its dignified silhouette that echoes the solemn form of an ancient bell. Crafted from authentic Zi Ni (Purple Clay) and holding a classic 180ml capacity, this teapot is ideal for intimate Gong Fu tea sessions. The addition of meticulous hand-carving transforms it from a brewing vessel into a portable canvas of classical art, perfect for the discerning tea enthusiast who seeks depth in every detail.

• The Virtuous De Zhong Form
  The De Zhong style is a testament to minimalist elegance and symbolic power. Its straight walls, broad shoulders, and compact structure project an aura of unshakable stability and moral uprightness—a direct reflection of the Confucian ideals cherished by Chinese literati. This is not just a teapot; it is a physical manifestation of virtue itself.

• Classic Zi Ni Clay for Enhanced Tea
  Meticulously fashioned from premium Yixing Zi Ni, this teapot boasts the deep, earthy tones that have made this clay legendary. Zi Ni’s balanced porosity and high iron content are perfect for rounding the edges of roasted Oolongs, deepening the richness of ripe Pu-erh, and enhancing the complexity of aged teas. It is the most versatile and trusted clay for a reason, promising a sublime tea experience and a patina that grows more lustrous with use.

• Narrative Hand-Carving Art
  This teapot is graced with the art of Ke Hui (hand-carving), where an artisan has skillfully etched a scene of bamboo (symbolizing resilience) or a meaningful Chinese character onto its surface. This intricate work adds a layer of scholarly narrative and unique beauty, ensuring that no two teapots are exactly alike. It invites contemplation with every use.

• The Perfect 180ml Capacity
  With a 180ml capacity, this teapot is the gold standard for a personal or two-person Gong Fu ceremony. Its size ensures the water cools to the ideal temperature for multiple, quick infusions, allowing you to fully explore the evolving fragrance and taste profile of your finest teas. The design promotes a comfortable, controlled pour with effortless precision.

As a testament to enduring craftsmanship, we offer this De Zhong in both fully and semi-handmade versions. Each piece is built to be a lifelong companion on your tea journey.
