Yixing Zisha Teapot 200cc – Red Clay – Purple Heart Sutra

If you brew gongfu style, you know the teapot does half the talking. This is a 200cc pot, made for solo gongfu sessions.

You are looking at red clay with a soft luster that deepens with use. One detail worth noting: dense clay seasons slowly but rewards patience with a smoother cup. Look closely and walls are thick enough to hold temperature across a long session. Foot ring is trimmed clean with the maker's stamp underneath — simple, and exactly right. Look closely and with regular use the surface takes on a soft sheen no polish can fake. One detail worth noting: handmade pots vary slightly piece to piece; yours will be one of a kind in the small details.

The clay will remember your favorite tea long after you finish the bag. For the price of a few café visits, you get a pot that lasts decades. Wrap it well and it travels safely — teapots this size are sturdy travelers.
