Features & Benefits

Classic Bao Zun Form
Inspired by the elegant silhouette of ancient Chinese ceremonial wine vessels, the Bao Zun teapot features a rounded body, broad shoulders, and a refined, upright profile. Its balanced proportions encourage even leaf expansion while delivering a smooth, controlled pour, making it an excellent choice for Gong Fu tea brewing.

Zi Jia Ni Clay
Crafted from Zi Jia Ni, a distinguished variety of Yixing purple clay, this teapot is appreciated for its fine texture, elegant deep plum hue, and natural breathability. The clay gently enhances the aroma and body of tea while gradually developing a rich patina with continued use.

Balanced Heat Retention
With a wall thickness of 5, this teapot offers an ideal balance between heat retention and responsiveness. It maintains a consistent brewing temperature while allowing the unique characteristics of every tea to unfold naturally.

Handcrafted Craftsmanship
Carefully handmade using traditional Yixing pottery techniques, every detail reflects meticulous attention to proportion, symmetry, and finishing. The result is a teapot that combines timeless beauty with exceptional brewing performance.

Ideal Gong Fu Brewing Capacity
The 140 ml capacity is perfectly suited for personal tea sessions or sharing with one companion. Its compact size allows precise control over each infusion while fully expressing the complexity of fine loose-leaf teas.

Design Concept

The Bao Zun form draws inspiration from the graceful shape of ancient Chinese ritual vessels, representing dignity, refinement, and cultural heritage.
