Chaozhou Kettle White Mud Handmade White teapot Hancrafted Pottery Chinese Master Pottery Ceramic Japanese Ceramic Tea Ceremony

we also call the Chaozhou kettle "Shaodiao" and the kettle is made by a very experienced craftsman from Chaozhou, if you want to perform Gongfu tea ceremony, this kettle would be a great pleasure for you to heat water in a very traditional way and it makes your water softer in the taste. A little cute white cow is standing on the lid and it expresses sincere blessings to the owner :)

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.

The capacity: 500ML
