Handmade Chaozhou Red Mud Kettle Classic Chinese Handcrafted Kettle Chinese Master Pottery Ceramic Japanese Ceramic Tea Ceremony

Handmade kettle made by the local experienced kettle artisan, Guyue, who has making pottery for 40 years in Chaozhou, where is famous for Chaozhou Gongfu tea stove and kettle. Additionally, it's also called "Shadiao" . Those three kettles are made from local Chaozhou red mud(zhuni). Chaozhou kettle can make your boiling water softer and sweeter thanks to its breathable particularity, which differs from other kettles.

The performance of a brew of tea is almost determined by how many positions the tea leaves can release in boiling water. Among them, the amount of calcium and magnesium dissolved ions in water is the factor that determines the ratio of tea water extracts (theanine, polyphenols, caffeine, etc.). Therefore, Chaozhou kettle multi-porosity and rich combination of ingredients are capable of adsorbing calcium, magnesium and other compounds to purify water and create space for volatilization of tea. That's why we say boiling water after Chaozhou Shadiao will be softer and sweeter.
