Pure Silver 999 "Bai Fu"

"It's a good teapot"

— Edy S. (5/5)

Entirely satisfied

"This is a review after 4 months of use, drinking tea everyday. When opening the box for the first time this teapot of 120ml seems quite small compared to a gaiwan of the same capacity but in reality it's not. On the scale the capacity is 115ml but when filled up just under the lid (to not make a mess) , it's about 100ml. It fills exactly 2 Jingdezhen ribbed cups (YS) or 3 if you keep a gap. The pouring is clean. If you pour too quickly it may leak some drops from the top but if you pour progressively it doesn't happen. This teapot gets very hot on the handle, I would recommend using a small towel to hold it comfortably. It has intentions written on it, good fortune (health, happiness, prosperity) About the taste, this is elevating all your teas. I'm drinking gong fu cha for a few years now and I was starting to be more picky with the mouth sensation, often feeling a "pulling" effect when using porcelain, jianzhan or sometimes clay depending of the tea. But with silver as soon as the liquor enter the mouth it's just floating and go down the throat very easily. No matter if it's hei cha or raw pu erh. Nothing "in the face" or pulling the mouth/throat, there is a good harmony with every tea, along every infusions. Even when drinking something more green and mineral there is no astringency normally associated with green/mineral teas. So you can enjoy every tea for what they are, the foundation being so strong that it's hard to mess up. I'm not talking about losing power, as for example glass which often have a lack of body, but really silver gives you the full spectrum in a way that resonate with the body. About cleaning, I use a melamine white sponge once every 2 weeks. It works great to keep it shiny. The rest of the time I just rince it straight after finishing a session. 400$ for a teapot is a lot and there is not many reviews around here to be sure about our investment. For me I have a lot of gratitude for this purchase, the experience really worth the price when drinking tea everyday. For a beginner I would recommend starting with a porcelain gaiwan, then play with clay/jianzhan etc., and once you get a good feeling with the energy of tea and how it flows, try silver."

Excellent

"This teapot is very good. There is a huge difference between tea made in this and glazed porcelain. It becomes a completely different class of beverage. I think it is also far superior to a cheap purple yixing. Mainly I have enjoyed hei cha, raw pu-erh, and light roast oolongs from this. Some say silver makes cheap tea worse, and expensive tea better. I failed to observe this and have notice a more creamy, bold, and flavorful tea for all grades of tea. I have only been using it about a month."
