Welcome to the art of tea – our Chinese Yixing Zisha teapot with ergonomic design assures better simply of using and enjoyable experience of brewing tea.

While “industry” might not be the word you would use for a teapot, its use spans various lifestyles and occasions where passion for quality tea and elegant experiences is in high regard:

Our Chinese Yixing Zisha Teapot with Ergonomic Design solves some common major problems and wishes that tea drinkers might have.

The Problem: Regular teapots (such as glass, metal or standard ceramic) don’t always allow you to savour your favourite high-quality tea at its best. The tea might seem rather dull and without character.

Solution: Yixing Zisha clay is known for it’s unique microstructure and porosity. Each time you brew a pot of tea, trace amounts of tea oils are absorbed into the pot itself. As you continue brewing, your pot will become “seasoned” over time. The porous nature of the clay will further enhance the flavour, aroma, and mouth-feel of your tea in every brew, whilst also imparting the complex flavour profile reflective of every tea brewed in that pot over many years. Yixing teapots are the perfect vessel for single-origin teas and really shine when dedicated to a specific tea such as Oolong, Pu-erh and black tea.

Problem: Many traditional teapots are beautiful but cumbersome for pouring. Many clay teapots on the market have not been designed with comfort, ergonomics or friction in mind, leading to an awkward handle-grip angle

Solution: A sculpted handle that feels good in your hand; a well balanced body that feels stable when you lift and tilt it; a spout that provides a smooth, dripless pour; and a lid that fits snugly but isn’t a pain to take on and off all make the process of brewing and serving tea a joy, not a nuisance.

Problem: A flimsy or poorly constructed teapot can chip, crack, or lose its luster over time.

Solution: Thoughtful ergonomics are part of the package.

Solution: Real Yixing Zisha clay is very durable and high-temperature resistant. With proper care, not only will this teapot serve you a lifetime, but it will also develop a beautiful, understated patina over years of use that adds to its beauty and value.

Problem: For many teas, proper water temperature for ideal infusions must be maintained throughout the steeping process. Some teapots dissipate heat so quickly the water temperature will quickly fall out of the range ideal for extraction.

Solution: The Zisha clay retains heat well, keeping the water at the optimal temperature for the duration of the brewing process, and allowing the tea leaves to open up fully and develop all of their flavors.

Problem: In an age of mass production, consumers are looking now, more than ever, for products that have authenticity and artisanal craftsmanship.

Solution: Yixing teapots have been made in the area of the town of Yixing, Wuxi in the Jiangsu province in China since for hundreds of years and the teapots have tradition relationship with Chinese tea culture. By owining one, you become part of this tradition and are connected to the people who have been making teapots for generations.
