Mei Leaf Master Wu Chaozhou Clay Pot

Chaozhou red clay is distinct for its high iron oxide and quartz content, which creates a crystalline structure that is particularly effective at highlighting the aromatics of Dan Cong Oolong. Unlike thicker Yixing pots, these pots have thinner walls that offer less heat retention, which helps prevent delicate tea leaves from over-steeping or becoming bitter.

Every Master Wu pot is fully handmade without the use of molds. Because each piece is shaped individually by hand, you can expect slight variations in character and detail, making your specific pot unique.
