{"product_id":"hehuan-bamboo-yixing-teapot","title":"'Noble Bamboo' Hehuan Yixing Teapot, Benshan Green Clay 140ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat an incredible master piece. This 'Jun Zhu' (Noble Bamboo) teapot is made by Yixing-certified artist Jiang Wei (蒋伟). It combines the classic Hehuan shape with the bamboo elements. Hand-crafted from precious Benshan green clay, it's a rare collector’s item that offers high performance for tea brewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a capacity of 140ml, it is an ideal size for concentrated gongfu tea service, and it's its built-in 7-hole filter offers a reliable water pour. Highly recommend for: green tea, light oolong tea (e.g. Tie Guan Yin), or raw pu erh tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHehuan Shape \u0026amp; Bamboo Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis teapot design harmonizes two famous traditions to create a balanced aesthetic. The Hehuan (Joyful Union) base is a round vessel type that symbolizes universal joy, harmony, and happiness. Inspired by the sound of cymbals at a celebration, the shape is intended to add a festive atmosphere to gatherings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts most defining feature is the teapot body: it's composed of two halves joined together, as if two bowls were placed mouth-to-mouth, forming a distinct waistline. The top half flares outward into broad shoulders, while the bottom half tapers downward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the body follows the Hehuan form, the lid knob and handle feature the “Floral Sculpture” style of the classic Zhugu (Bamboo Drum) teapot. The handle and bridge-shaped lid knob are sculpted into realistic bamboo joints, representing strength and life. This combination creates a “Gentleman” character, balancing the soft curves of the body with the strong spirit of the bamboo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGreen Clay \u0026amp; Polished Surface\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis teapot is made of authentic Benshan green clay from Huanglong Mountain. This is a rare clay, difficult to mine and highly precious. While the raw ore is greyish-white, it turns into a sophisticated Champagne beige color after firing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface also features dark specks as a result of the iron content in the clay. This gives the teapot a sand-like appearance. The surface is slightly glossy, because the outside of the teapot was smoothened (上明针) utilising slices of polished buffalo horn before oven-firing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece was high-temperature fired at 1200°C to 1250°C for a crisp, durable finish and low deformation. The physical properties of this green clay is relatively porous, providing excellent moisture retention and superior breathability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContent: Teapot in a gift box and certification of authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArtist: Jiang Wei\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClay: Benshan Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasures: ca. 11.5x9x7.8cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: ca. 140ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpout: built-in spherical 7-hole spout\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Teasenz.eu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56777666920772,"sku":null,"price":249.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5747\/2461\/files\/Noble_Bamboo_Benshan_Green_Clay_Teapot.jpg?v=1779374887","url":"https:\/\/teasenz.eu\/products\/hehuan-bamboo-yixing-teapot","provider":"Teasenz.eu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
