Yixing Zisha Teapot 160cc – Purple Clay – Piao Bamboo

Start with the silhouette — the rest of this pot's story follows from it. At 160cc, it is sized for solo gongfu sessions.

The clay is purple clay, honest and unglazed, exactly as tradition demands. Shaped around the bamboo idea, the design stays balanced and easy to handle. The unglazed clay and boiling water are old friends — just warm the pot first — the photos do not exaggerate. Compact size keeps water hot and opens leaves fast, as it should be. Walls are thick enough to hold temperature across a long session, as it should be. Look closely and keep it to one tea and it will pay you back in flavor. Never use soap on unglazed clay; hot water and a soft cloth are enough, as it should be.

Your tea routine is about to get a small but real upgrade. A pot like this turns a habit into a ritual. It arrives as pictured — no surprises, just a good teapot.
