Yixing Teapots

The Yixing teapot is made of clay from near the town of Yixing in the eastern province of Jiangsu, China. The unglazed porous clay, also known as Zisha (紫砂 "purple clay"), has excellent heat retaining properties, making Yixing teapots the best brewing vessels for Chinese black, Oolong and Pu Erh teas. Here we offer a variety of popular shapes and styles that are perfect for use in Gongfu tea ceremonies.

Xi Shi

The elegant and much loved Xi Shi (西施) style is named after one of the Four Beauties of Ancient China. The full, rounded shape with short spout is said to resemble her graceful face, while the handle represents her hair tied in a bun.
