- What is the best tea pot to use?
Like many things in life, using the right equipment makes all the difference. Use glass pots for the visual spectacle of herbals and quality green teas. Use purple clay for the heady aromas and flavour of quality connoisseur and scented teas. David personally recommends the YI XING ‘ZI SHA’ TEAPOTS. World famous for their individual appearance and usage, these teapots are renowned for their delicate style and artistry. They are made from a naturally occurring pigment found under deep layers of ZI SHA earth, only found in YI XING, which is also known as ‘earth in rock’. People love ZI SHA teapots not only for their practical usage but also for their simple, elegant and beautiful design. Constant usage makes the pot shine as it absorbs the natural fats and fluorine of the tea, and eventually its surface will shine like jade. Antique pots are very highly valued.

- What is David Zhou’s favourite tea?
“This is a hard question - I find my tea tastes and cravings change with the seasons. At the moment, I am a drinking quite a lot of ‘Pu Er’ Tea; it’s very relaxing on those long, stressful workdays. It being a typical cold Melbourne winter, I’m also quite partial to a cup of Ginger & Barley Tea… warms me right up.” – David Zhou (August ’06) |
