Traditional Yixing Teapots
yixing teapot zisha clay teapots chinese asian

 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 teapot comes in its own gift box with care instructions.
We offer
gift wrap services ($2.50/pot) for Yixing teapots!

"Tidal Wave" - 12 ounces (~2 cups)
This is a beautiful interpretation of an ocean wave captured in a chocolate brown teapot.  It begins at the spout and rushes across the body, kicking up 'sand' and finally curls back in on itself to form the handle.  A small after-spray forms the lid's knob.  Very cool!
