What Is a Shi Piao Teapot?
Shi Piao is a classic Yixing teapot form recognized for its broad body, structured profile, bridge-style lid, and straight spout. Its traditional shape combines distinctive proportions with practical brewing features.
The broad body provides room for tea leaves to open during brewing, while the straight spout supports controlled pouring. The wide lid opening also makes it easier to add and remove tea leaves.
What Is Zhu Ni Clay?
Zhu Ni is a type of Yixing Zisha clay traditionally associated with a fine texture, dense body, and warm orange-red appearance. This teapot is made from Zhu Ni and features its characteristic warm color.
Zhu Ni Yixing teapots are often used for Gongfu brewing, including oolong, black tea, aged tea, and dark tea. Brewing results can vary with the tea, water, brewing method, and individual teapot.
