Chao Zhou Zhu Ni(red clay) is a natural, green mineral material that does not contain toxic substances and radioactive elements. The most important feature of the original Zhu Ni material contains high amounts of iron oxide. Was khaki, turn red after firing. Chao Zhou Zhu Ni(red clay)has delicate texture---solid, smooth, tender without sand. This unique advantage is very suitable to make tea pots. It's grainy material structure is conducive to spread the fragrance of the tea soup. Meanwhile, maintain low water absorption and water permeability.

3. Injecting the clay slurry into the mold;
4. Drying and demolding.

Why use a Chao Zhou clay pot?

For Phoenix Dan Cong(single bush) teas, Chao Zhou red clay tea pots are preferred over Yixing clay teapots. Because it is specially designed for Chao Shan style Gongfu tea ceremony. Especially for steeping Dan Cong tea, and most importantly Chao Zhou red clay is mined from the same area that Dan Cong tea grown.
Beyond that, there are also several reasons that Dan Cong tea lovers prefer Chao Zhou red clay teapots:
1. The wall of a Chao Zhou red clay teapot is thin so it doesn't simmer the leaves. Also it's grainy material structure is conducive to spread the fragrance of the tea soup.
2. Chao Zhou red clay teapot are made into small sizes. Normally is suitable to make 3 to 4 little cups of tea soup, which is just enough to drink for a fast Chao Shan Gongfu steeping.(3-5 seconds for each stepping)
3. It also could be used as a timer! After pouring hot water over the exterior of the teapot, it takes some time for the teapot to be dry again. This period is just the right time for the first 2-3 infusion.



Using a new Chao Zhou red clay teapot for the first time, which is called "Kai Hu".

1. Separate the lid and the teapot body then place it into a container(pan,pot etc.),covered with water and brought to a boil.
2. When the water is boiled, add tea leaves into the container. If you decide to use this teapot to steep Dan Cong tea then use Dan Cong tea leaves for this brewing.
3. Continue to simmer the teapot and the tea leaves very gently for 5-10 minutes.
4. Take out the teapot and scrub the teapot with the tea leaves just brewed.
5. Finally, clean the teapot with warm water then dry it.
Now, the teapot is ready to use!
