{"product_id":"jianshui-black-lotus-teapot-tall-shi-piao-style","title":"Jianshui Black Lotus Teapot - Tall Shi Piao Style","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis is a true tea lovers teapot. We really love Jianshui clay. It has a purity and soul that comes through the tea session. For these teapots we used the rare Wanyao clay. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWith changing government regulations it has become difficult or impossible to mine for new clay under Wanyao village in Jianshui. Most Jianshui teapots now are made of a blend of clay from as far as 25km away. It's still good clay, but the purists prefer the old Wanyao clay. We still have access to some of it but the stock is dwindling! The clay in these teapots was mined 20 years ago, processed, and has been aging since then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTo set these teapots apart we had them carved with a lotus and inlaid them with red glaze. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThese are each handmade by a group of artists who work together. They are single fired and unglazed. This is a true clay which lacks any sand. The natural minerals in the clay will enhance the flavor of your tea. Jianshui is in Yunnan, and the clay used in these teapots comes from the same mountains that grow puerh tea trees. We appreciate that connection.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"Crimson Lotus Tea Jian Shui Zi Tao Pottery\" href=\"http:\/\/crimsonlotustea.live\/blogs\/puerh\/12799169-jian-shui-zi-tao-pottery\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWe blogged about this unique town here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince these are handmade products each are unique.
