Chinese Yixing Teapots, Zisha Clay Teapot, Unique Imported Oriental Asian Art Gifts

Small Yixing Teapots

YiXing teapots are made from zisha clay found in the Jiangsu province of China. Their artistic beauty & unparalleled contribution to the art of tea enjoyment is world famous. In order to produce a strong teapot, the clay is first beaten to remove air pockets, then hand crafted & fired at over 2000 degrees. The porous clay interior is left unglazed so, over time, tea brewed in these pots will have an enhanced flavor. It is highly recommended to use a separate pot for each kind of tea (green, oolong, flavored and black) to keep flavors pure. The pots are traditionally small for gong fu brewing (multiple infusions of fine, loose leaf teas).
Variations and slight imperfections are part of the charm of these hand-finished Asian teapots.

Each pot comes in its own satin Chinese box and includes care instructions.
We offer gift wrap services ($2.50/pot) for Yixing teapots!
