This Jianshui teapot set was custom handmade for ANMO with our design. It is limited to 4 pieces only.
With creating a versatile vessel in mind we chose a medium size and a clay with a higher vitrification rate to suit every tea you would want to brew in it. For this purpose Jianshui clay was the optimal choice.
Jianshui ceramics hail from Yunnan province in China which is also home to Puerh tea. It was traditionally used for several ceramics ranging from tiles and pipes to plates, storage jars and teaware. Because of their low porosity they are neutral in taste and suited for every tea. Many pieces are decorated by charing the clay or carving out floral patterns, which then are filled in with colorful inlays.
This will be a perfect couple for example if you looking for a sheng and shou Puerh teapot, or one for roasted and green Oolongs - or whatever other pairing you have in mind.
