The Legend...."Once upon a time there lived a very wealthy mandarin who had a beautiful daughter named Hong Shee, who fell in love with her father's secretary, a man named Chang. To keep them apart, the mandarin imprisoned his daughter in the palace. One day she escaped, and the two lovers reached over the bridge to a waiting boat, with the mandarin in pursuit. They managed to elude the mandarin, reach the boat, and sail away. A storm developed; the boat foundered; and the couple was lost at sea. It is said that two love birds appeared immediately thereafter - the spirits of Hong Shee and Chang."
The shape of the pot causes the tea to be gently swirled around as the boiling water is added. Producing an exquisite infusion.
