Yixing Zisha Teapot 360cc – Purple Clay – With Handle

A good Yixing pot earns its place slowly, one steeping at a time. Pouring 360cc at a time, it serves small gatherings of two or three well.

Crafted in purple clay with the matte, natural finish Yixing is known for. Look closely and the material is the whole story here — everything else follows from the clay. Lid and body were clearly made for each other — the fit tells you; it is the kind of detail you only get from handmade work. Compact size keeps water hot and opens leaves fast. Pair it with a fairness pitcher and two small cups for a complete session, which makes daily brewing just a little easier. It is a working pot, not a museum piece — brew in it daily — a small thing, but it matters every session.

One more pot on the shelf is never a mistake when the pot is this useful. It is ready to join your tea table the day it arrives. The kind of teapot that makes the whole ritual feel a little more deliberate.
