The Zhuni Teapot Set embodies the refinement of Chinese craftsmanship. Handmade from authentic Yixing Zǔn Ní (Zhuni) red clay, it captures the essence of the traditional tea ritual — a perfect balance between material purity, cultural heritage, and functional elegance.

Why choose this piece?

• Authentic Yixing Zǔn Ní (Zhuni) clay: sourced from the Zhaozhuang and Huanglong mountain regions, this fine red clay is known for its dense texture, natural glow, and exceptional plasticity when fired at 1920–2010°F (1050–1100°C).
• Handcrafted with heritage: each piece is manually shaped, refined, and kiln-fired to achieve a seamless flow, tight-fitting lid, and traditional silhouette used in gongfu-style tea ceremonies.
• Improves with use: its subtle micro-porosity allows tea oils to be absorbed, deepening flavors and developing a natural patina that tells the story of each brewing over time.
• Complete traditional set: includes one teapot and four matching cups for intimate tea sessions.

💡 STOA Tip
Use it for gongfu-style tea, dedicating the teapot to one type of tea to preserve its natural essence. Preheat with hot water before brewing and serve slowly to appreciate the aroma and flow. Display on a neutral wooden or ceramic tray for an elegant, meditative presentation. With time, your Zhuni will develop a unique patina and deeper tone — a reflection of every ritual shared.
