This article is divided into [I] and [II]. In Article I, we introduce the effect of the clay and shape on Puerh. And explain why the Zisha teapot is the soul match of Puerh.
From Article I, you can understand that the dual porosity of the Yixing Teapot allows the clay to absorb "off-flavors" and harshness from the tea, transforming a jagged brew into a velvety, smooth experience. The Zhu Ni is best for Young Sheng Puerh to preserve floral aromas and brightness. With medium porosity, Zi Ni is ideal for Aged Sheng Puerh. As for the Shou (Ripe) Puerh, Duan Ni is the best choice.
