Yixing Zisha Teapot 160cc – Purple Clay – Dragon Fish Tea

There is a reason Yixing teapots have outlasted every tea trend. This is a 160cc pot, made for solo gongfu sessions.

The pot is purple clay, the classic Yixing material that rounds out harsh edges in the brew. The clay color deepens slightly with years of brewing — a small thing, but it matters every session. What I like: spout is cut to deliver a clean, unbroken stream. In practice, base sits flat and steady on any tea table. In practice, pair it with a fairness pitcher and two small cups for a complete session. What I like: let it air-dry with the lid off between sessions. Rim is finished smooth against the lid, and the small comforts add up.

It is the rare object that gets better the more you just use it. It will sit comfortably next to your cups, pitcher, and tea pet. It is equally at home in a beginner's kit and a collector's cabinet.
