This pot is made in the classic shui ping style, in which the pot is level at the tip of the long spout, the mouth of the pot, and the top of the handle. If well made, you can sit a shui ping pot upside down with the lid off and it will touch the surface at all three points.
This popular design is great for controlling the pour and the infusion time of your tea. Combined with this pot’s small size, it makes the ideal companion for gongfu brewing.
