Qiu Gui Lin’s works are exquisitely designed, with graceful lines that are at once simple and ingenious, carrying a unique charm. He selects pure, authentic, old-mine clay, and through repeated refining and firing experiments, has successfully produced the “Qiu-style Zhuni,” as lustrous as jade and as precious as treasure.
Compared with other Chaozhou zhuni, it has a more vivid color and a warmer texture. When brewing tea, it greatly enhances the quality of the infusion. Connoisseurs who have used it praise the “Guilin Pot” for its pleasant hand feel, ease of use, and the fact that, with handling, it quickly develops a beautiful patina.
Only one in stock, so the pot photographed is the pot you will receive.

Preparation Before Use
Just like Yixing Teapot, Chaozhou Teapots should be prepared before using the first time. This is called "opening the pot". It removes the dust/sand from firing the teapot.
We would recommend rinsing the teapot under warm water two or three times, then wipe gently inside and outside of the pot with a new non-scratch sponge scourer to remove sediment trapped in the unglazed clay.
Then, filling the teapot with boiling water, wait for 10 minutes, empty the pot; repeat one more time, the new Yixing teapot is ready for use.
Daily cleaning and seasoning
Empty the leaves after each use, rinse with boiling water, drain, wipe water away with clean soft cloth, and then lid off, place the body upside, let it air dry for one or two days.
Do not ever use any detergent or soap than water to clean the pot.
Do not let the potcome into contact with other strong smell such as cooking fume, cigarette smoke, perfume.
