1. Making this teapot with true Taiwanese clay which consists of great amounts of minerals such as Iron(III) oxide. This brings the effect of making the water softer when brewing tea. Firing at 1230℃ high temperature with electric kiln instead of wood-firing to minimize the pollution to environment. 2. The Bamboo represents Strength, Resilience, Humility. It teaches us to stand upright, adapt to the harshest circumstances, and always be humble (竹解心虛即我師). Finding balance and inner peace in our lives, in turn improving our health. 3. Entirely using Taiwanese clay to mimic the texture of bamboo, making it vividly look like the real one. (Seeing is not believing!) Insisting on making the teapot with our hands rather than model, machine, or wheel. By pinching the clay, we make the structure of the teapot more compact and dense, which can result in the effect of keeping the temperature when making tea. #220ml
