Product Description:

Discover the perfect balance of strength and elegance with our Duan Ni Shi Piao Teapot. The Shi Piao, or “Stone Gourd,” is a legendary shape in the Zisha canon, celebrated for its timeless geometric form and unwavering stability. Crafted from the elegant Duan Ni (Buff Clay), this 180ml teapot presents a beautiful contrast between its robust structure and soft, golden hue. It is a testament to the philosophy that true strength lies in simplicity, making it an essential piece for purists and connoisseurs alike.

• The Iconic Shi Piao Design
  The Shi Piao form is a masterpiece of tea ware geometry. Its distinct triangular composition—featuring a straight slanted spout, a sturdy handle, and a flat, wide base—creates a visual and functional equilibrium. This is not merely a teapot; it is a study in balance and proportion, designed to remain steadfast and pour with impeccable control.

• The Golden Warmth of Duan Ni Clay
  Meticulously fashioned from authentic Yixing Duan Ni, this teapot brings a touch of luminous warmth to your tea table. This prized clay is renowned for its exceptional ability to mellow and sweeten the profile of high-mountain Oolongs, young Raw Pu-erh, and delicate White Teas. Its relatively high porosity allows the tea to breathe, resulting in a smoother, more nuanced cup. Watch as its color deepens with each use, evolving into a rich, honeyed patina that chronicles your tea journey.

• Engineered for the Perfect Pour
  Beyond its symbolic form, the Shi Piao is a marvel of functionality. The angled spout is designed for an aerated, streamlined, and utterly drip-free pour. This ensures you have complete command over every infusion, turning the simple act of serving tea into a graceful and precise ritual.

• Ideal 180ml Gong Fu Capacity
  With a classic 180ml capacity, this teapot is the ideal vessel for an immersive Gong Fu tea session for one or two people. Its volume is perfect for allowing tea leaves to fully unfurl and release their complex aromas over multiple short steeps, guaranteeing you extract the deepest and most rewarding flavors from your prized teas.

Honoring the legacy of Yixing artisans, this Shi Piao teapot is offered in both fully and semi-handmade versions. Each piece is a tribute to the skill required to master this deceptively simple form.

Embrace the golden simplicity of a classic. Choose the Duan Ni Shi Piao Teapot for a brewing experience that is as stable and rewarding as the form itself.
