Description

The Lian Zi style features a plump, rounded body that allows for optimal leaf expansion and vertical water circulation. Crafted from Xiao Mei Yao Zhu Ni, the vessel possesses a dense, vitrified structure after firing, which results in low porosity and high thermal conductivity. This makes the teapot highly efficient at reflecting volatile aromatic compounds rather than absorbing them. The 140ml volume is technically calibrated for precision brewing, specifically for high-fragrance teas or young puerh where maintaining a high temperature and a specific leaf-to-water ratio is necessary for flavor extraction.
