Yixing Zisha Teapot 150cc – Red Clay – Purple Gongdeng Tea

There is nothing fussy about this design, and that is exactly its charm. Sized at 150cc, it is built for solo gongfu sessions.

Crafted in red clay, a warm-toned classic of the Yixing kilns. In practice, the clay color deepens slightly with years of brewing. One detail worth noting: every edge is softened just enough to feel comfortable. Lid knob is sized for two fingers, easy to lift mid-session, which makes daily brewing just a little easier. It is equally at home in a beginner's kit and a collector's cabinet. The compact size means less water wasted warming the pot — the photos do not exaggerate. The compact size means less water wasted warming the pot, which is exactly what you want in a daily brewer.

You will reach for it more often than you expect. Brew, rinse, repeat — the pot takes care of the rest. It is ready to join your tea table the day it arrives. A fine way to start, or continue, a Yixing collection.
