Golden Zhu Ni "Xi Shi" created by Wang Jian Ying * 140ml
Golden Zhu Ni clay is from Wei Zhao Village in Yixing county. After firing at 1125C, the clay can contract as much as 25%, making the failure rate from firing quite high. The density of the finished product is quite high, but it's porous enough to allow for gradual seasoning. Seasoning over time will bring luster to the outer surface of the pot and bring out the best qualities of the tea to which the pot is dedicated.
When tapped, the pot made from Golden Zhu Ni has a solid ring to it, pleasant to the ear.
This kind of clay material is especially appropriate for medium to light roast oolongs as well as raw and ripe pu-erh.
