Description

The Li Xing style is a cornerstone of Yixing teaware, presenting a balance between a high-set aesthetic and a stable base. This specific iteration is crafted from early-period Bao Shan Huang Jin Duan Ni, a clay valued for its high sand content and exceptional air permeability. Its porous molecular structure is technically efficient at modulating water temperature and softening the astringency of highly fermented teas. At 150ml, this teapot is an ideal vessel for the precise leaf-to-water ratios required in gongfu tea. It is particularly well-suited for brewing puerh (especially aged or ripe varieties), heavy-roasted oolongs, or high-mineral rock teas.
