{"title":"Zi Sha Kettle","description":"\u003cp\u003eBoiling Water in Zisha: The Soul of the Tea Ceremony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe essence of the tea ceremony lies first in the water, and second in the vessel. When a Zisha (purple clay) kettle is placed upon the stove and heated over a gentle flame, the process transcends a mere rise in temperature; it becomes a spiritual dialogue between water and earth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYixing’s raw Zisha clay is rich in iron and various trace elements; its unique dual-pore structure grants the kettle exceptional breathability and absorptive qualities. During heating, the clay subtly purifies the water and softens its molecules, stripping away any harshness from the spring water and rendering it sweet and silky smooth. This \"living water\" effect establishes a pure, full-bodied foundation for the tea that follows.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike the rapid heating of metal kettles or the stark transparency of glass ones, the Zi Sha Kettle transfers heat slowly and evenly while offering excellent heat retention. As the temperature rises, the kettle exudes a dignified, rustic charm—warm and smooth to the touch, elegant to the eye. It neither alters the water's flavor nor imparts unwanted odors, allowing the water’s true character to shine through to perfection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the tea table, the Zisha kettle is more than a mere utensil; it is a medium for cultivating the spirit. Listening to the sound of the water shift from a soft murmur to a robust boil—reminiscent of wind sighing through pine trees—one’s mind naturally settles into tranquility. As the water is poured, the tea’s aroma awakens; every drop carries the gentle, rich depth imparted by the Zisha clay. This defines the unique status of the Zisha kettle in the tea ceremony: through the earth’s profound virtue, it embraces the water’s vitality, ultimately shaping the soul of a truly fine cup of tea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"black-mud-kettle-muscle-texture-ti-liang-pot","title":"Black Mud Kettle Muscle Texture Ti Liang Pot","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Black Mud (purple mud mixed with refractory mud)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Jingdezhen, Jiangxi.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePopular Elements: Retro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcess: Hand-drawn Embryo + Hand-made Rattan Weaving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 16.8 x 15.0 cm, capacity 700 ml.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpening the pot: The new pot should be opened for trial use first, boil it with clean water and discard water; then add a little glutinous rice (millet) into the clean water and boil it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Mud Kettle: Do not dry-boil it, which will cause the pot body to crack.
