This teapot’s compact form supports focused brewing and personal ritual. Its minimalist silhouette and ergonomic balance reflect the quiet elegance of Gongfu design, while the clay’s mineral richness deepens the tea experience over time.

Whether used for daily brewing or gifted as a cultural token, this vessel honors the lineage of Chinese teaware and the meditative spirit of handcrafted clay.

🧴 Care, Patina & Aging

• Use exclusively with one tea type to cultivate a consistent patina
• Rinse with warm water only; avoid soaps or abrasive cloths
• Air dry naturally in a well-ventilated space
• Surface will retain its natural texture; patina develops as a soft glow over time
• Natural mineral sheen and color variation are part of the Zisha’s character and do not affect performance

The patina is a quiet archive—each infusion a trace, each trace a story.
