80ml Modern Hongni Si Ting Yixing Teapot

Description

These little teapots are made of modern Yixing red clay, but are produced to mimic old zhuni. These pots are very high fired, thin walled and are not easy to find in sizes this small, so I was very happy to get these in! They are beautifully crafted, feature flat seven-hole filters that stop the spot from getting clogged and are a great size for one-to-two person tea sessions.

The pour speed on this pot is twenty seconds long. Some Western tea aficionados consider this to be too long a pour for oolong tea, but Chinese gongfucha drinkers don't. With gongfucha with Wuyicha, I usually go for 20-30 seconds before the pour, and I don't think the pour speed on this pot is at all an issue.

These are really beautiful pots. I have a real soft spot for si ting (pear-shaped) pots! Along with Wuyicha, these pots are also excellent candidates for black tea (hongcha) or even clean tasting pu erh that wouldn't benefit from the muting effect of lower fired clays. I personally think these little 80ml pots are excellent and I am very happy to have one for myself!

I am particularly fond of the long lid skirt on these si tings. It took me a while to find good si tings in this size and the long lid skirt makes them even better!

Please note that ordering one of these pots may delay your order by a week or two.
