Yixing Zisha Teapot 280cc – Red Clay – Purple Bamboos Tea – Bamboo Shoot Knob

You can tell a lot about a teapot before water ever touches it. The bamboo shoot knob reads even better in person than in the photos. Pouring 280cc at a time, it serves small gatherings of two or three well.

Crafted in red clay, a warm-toned classic of the Yixing kilns. Shaped around the bamboo idea, the design stays balanced and easy to handle. Handmade pots vary slightly piece to piece; yours will be one of a kind in the small details — the photos do not exaggerate. Walls are thick enough to hold temperature across a long session, which is exactly what you want in a daily brewer. Clay body rings clear when tapped, a quick sign of good firing, as it should be. The clay remembers every tea, so the hundredth pot tastes better than the first — a small thing, but it matters every session. Small pots like this suit gongfu brewing, where leaf-to-water ratio matters; it is the kind of detail you only get from handmade work.

Add it to your cart and give your tea the vessel it deserves. Order it, rinse it, brew in it — the pot handles the rest. It will sit comfortably next to your cups, pitcher, and tea pet.
