“Whisper of the Yellow Mountains” Yixing Teapot

⛰️ The Breath of Laoduan Ni and the Playfulness of Ink

Among the countless Yixing clays, Laoduan Ni (Vintage Duan Clay) stands out for its warm yellow tone and delicate granular texture. It possesses a stable structure and excellent breathability, best enhancing the layers and purity of the tea. This “Shui Ping” (Level) pot, with its classic, clean, and balanced form, is the perfect vessel for Duan Ni.

The decoration on the pot integrates the essence of Chinese literati painting. The artisan uses the blade to outline the contours of rolling mountains, creating an atmosphere of depth and vastness. Adding a touch of vibrancy is the shrimp imagery, inspired by Qi Baishi’s painting style.

The shrimp symbolize vigorous vitality and harmony. Their movement across the pot’s surface breaks the mountain’s stillness, representing the effortless flow of life between water and land.

This is a pot made not only for brewing tea but for cultivating its spirit. With every pour and every touch, the warm yellow clay will deepen gracefully, forming a unique patina. It will become a vessel holding patience, stillness, and the accumulation of years, where every drop of tea aroma contains a praise for the slow life.
