The voice of long-time customers who actually use our Yixing teapots daily best testify to their value. Here are some examples:

Customer: Sarah, a graphic designer who enjoys a quiet tea break in the afternoon.
Problem: Sarah brewed her Oolong tea in a ceramic pot and found it not as full-bodied and fragrant as that she drank in the traditional tea house. Sarah wanted to bring out that rich, complex flavour at home.
Solution: Sarah obtained our daily Yixing teapot and began brewing her beloved Tie Guan Yin Oolong in her own teapot repeatedly.
Results: After brewing the same tea for a few weeks, she began to taste the difference. Sarah loved how the floral notes seemed enhanced and the texture was smoother with longer lingering of aftertaste. It almost felt as if the teapot had learned the tea and the younger teapot just couldn’t give that same feeling of completion, she told me. Yet, she loved every moment brewing tea with her younger pot, the routine of removing the lid, placing leaves, rinsing, closing the lid, and re-opening became procedural. a non-intrusive chore she looked forward to in the afternoon. She claimed it gave her time to refocus and a great way to de-stress.

David, a retired professor and a collector of Pu-erh Tea cakes.
Problem: David needed a reliable, genuine teapot to properly brew his aged Pu-erh that requires high temperatures and also benefits greatly from the seasoning effect of Yixing clay. He needed something that would stand up to frequent use but also treat the tea with respect.
David has chosen our basic Yi-xing teapot and more specifically he chose one with a clay that is known to work well with aged Pu-erh.
The result? David uses the teapot multiple times throughout the day. He likes the heat retention and says it allows him to pull the deep, earthy flavors from his aged cakes. The pot acquired a lovely patina almost immediately, and he genuinely feels like it adds and elevates the tea’s complex profile. The teapot’s build is robust and ideal for David’s consideration habitual frequent brewing, and he can’t imaging his collection without it.

Customer: Jian. A software engineer trying to incorporate many more mindfulness practices into…
Problem: Jian wanted a calmer morning process that didn’t feel rushed. He often felt that making tea quickly with a modern infuser lacked ritual.
A solution: Jian experimented brewing the black tea in our usual Yixing teapot, and concentrated at the brewing.
The Result: Jian likes to spend fifteen minutes preparing tea each morning. He feels that the physical interaction with the Yixing pot, the visual stimulation from the clay, and the attention placed on each brewing step all serve to ground his mind and body before he starts working. Jian tells me that the black tea (literally just a regular breakfast tea blend) has a much smoother and deeper flavour than the way he used to brew it, and that the tea pot has since become the centrepiece of his mindful morning routine.
Together these stories highlight a single theme: how the same ordinary, but well-made utilitarian Yixing teapot qualifies to heighten operatively ordinary experience of drinking tea from habitual routine into higher, more conscious, even meditative enjoyment, elevating not simply the quality of the tea, but that of its user’s everyday life as well.
