🧘 Cultural & Craft Legacy
The Xi Shi teapot form is one of Yixing’s most beloved silhouettes, named after the legendary beauty whose gentle features inspired its rounded body and soft proportions. This edition, crafted from mineral-rich purple clay, reflects the purity of raw material and the intimacy of handwork.
With a capacity of 100ml, this teapot is ideal for solo Gongfu practice or focused tasting sessions. The ball-hole filter ensures a clean, uninterrupted pour while preserving the integrity of whole-leaf teas. Its compact size and ergonomic balance make it a favorite among connoisseurs and travelers alike.
Purple clay has long been revered for its ability to absorb tea oils and evolve with use. This piece continues that tradition, offering a vessel that is both technically precise and emotionally resonant.
🔮 Material, Firing & Form Geometry
Material · Yixing Zisha (Purple Clay)
- Symbolism: Pure · Grounded · Refined
- Emotional Resonance: Supports clarity, warmth, and sensory depth
- Affirmation: “When I hold this vessel, I feel the stillness of form and the breath of tea.”
Zisha clay is rich in iron and mineral particles, giving the body its porous structure and natural warmth. These qualities allow the teapot to “breathe,” enhancing aroma and flavor over time.
Firing & Surface
- Firing: High-fired at approx. 1150–1200°C in a reduction atmosphere
- Surface Texture: Smooth matte finish with subtle grain; develops a soft patina with regular use
Form Geometry
- Shape: Rounded Xi Shi body with short spout and looped handle; lid features a small circular finial for easy grip
- Lid & Handle: Ergonomic and balanced for stable pouring
- Pouring Dynamics: Ball-hole filter ensures smooth, leaf-free flow; ideal for whole-leaf teas and repeated infusions

🧴 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
- Over time, the clay will darken and develop a soft sheen, reflecting your brewing habits and tea preferences
- 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.
