Jian Shui Gong-fu teapots

Traditional ceramics from Jian Shui County, located in the south of Yunnan Province.

The Chinese describe the local clay as: hard as iron, pure as water, rich as jade, and resonant as a qin. Unlike the porous Yixing and Qingzhou teapots, they absorb very little tea aroma and can serve as universal teapots.
