Angel's Comment:
Combining both the advantages of Gaiwan and Zisha teaware, this Yixing Zisha Gaiwan is very suitable for people who love Gaiwan and Zisha teaware to collect and use.
A gaiwan is convenient for multiple reasons, as it allows the tea drinker to observe the color of the liquid, smell its aroma, taste its flavor, and see the tea leaves while they brew, as well as being easy to clean afterwards. The material enhances all of these attributes of the tea as well, with TeaVivre’s Yixing Zisha gaiwan combining all of these advantages into one. Because of the clay’s good heat retention, it is suitable more for brewing tea at higher temperatures, such as oolong and pu-erh.
Material - Di Cao Qing (底槽清)
Di Cao Qing was originally produced in Huanglong, Dingshan, Yixing, in Jiangsu Province, widely used by teapot makers early in history; now, however, it is extremely rare. The turquoise Ben Shan particles, known as “corn” or “cat’s eye”, are unevenly distributed in the original ore - when the clay is mixed and then fired, it becomes mild and exquisite, purple with golden speckles and with the surface taking on a ruddy and somewhat oily texture.
Origin
Yixing County is known as the Pottery Capital of China for its extensive 6500-year history of the craft. The area boasts abundant resources of argil, tea, bamboo, and charcoal, each of which contributes an important base material for the making of pottery. Yixing Zisha products have earned countless prizes both at home in China as well as abroad, with a few exceptional works presented as national gifts during international diplomacy.
