Yixing Zisha Teapot 260cc – Purple Clay – Bamboo Green Tea

Some teapots are made to impress on a shelf; this one is made to be picked up every day. The 260cc size makes it a natural fit for small gatherings of two or three.

The pot is purple clay, steady in heat and mellow in flavor. Shaped around the bamboo idea, the design stays balanced and easy to handle. Look closely and traditional yixing clay needs no glaze; the material is the finish. Spout angle is set for a natural wrist motion when pouring, and the small comforts add up. Pour is quick and decisive, which matters for timed steepings. One detail worth noting: it sits naturally at the center of a gongfu tea table. Keep it to one tea and it will pay you back in flavor.

It will not be the last teapot you buy, but it may become the favorite. The kind of teapot that makes the whole ritual feel a little more deliberate.
