Let’s start with the material. 【Moon Chaser】uses exceptionally rare “Shihuang” clay sourced from Yixing, China—a natural mineral material. The clay’s color evolves over time, transitioning from soft golden-brown to deeper tones with prolonged use, developing a unique patina effect. This material not only enhances visual appeal but also retains tea temperature effectively while amplifying tea aromas.

He personally crafts each teapot, adhering strictly to traditional methods from kneading the clay to sculpting the form. Master Xu innovatively blends modern design elements into classical shapes, with 【Moon Chaser】epitomizing this creative philosophy.

Maintenance tips: Soak new teapots in tea for 24 hours initially. Rinse with water only—no chemicals—after each use. Air-dry naturally and polish occasionally with a soft cloth. Proper care ensures decades of companionship.
