Yixing Zisha Teapot 200cc – Purple Clay – Shipiao Tea – Calligraphy

Small pots, big flavor: the gongfu logic holds for this one. What caught my eye in the main photo was the calligraphy. The 200cc capacity suits solo gongfu sessions.

Made from purple clay that seasons beautifully with regular use. The shipiao styling gives this pot a silhouette you will recognize across the table. It turns out the clay color deepens slightly with years of brewing. Handle stays cool enough to hold through a full session — simple, and exactly right. Rim is finished smooth against the lid — the photos do not exaggerate. It turns out pair it with a fairness pitcher and two small cups for a complete session.

It fits naturally into any tea setup, from beginner to seasoned. A reliable brewer with looks that hold up over time. A solid choice for anyone building a gongfu setup from scratch. Years from now, the patina will tell the story of every tea you brewed.
