Yixing Zisha Teapot 150cc – Purple Clay – Gourd Tea

The shape tells you how it pours before you ever lift it. The black sand clay balances nicely against the clean lines of the design. A 150cc capacity puts it squarely in the range for solo gongfu sessions.

This one is made of purple clay that brews a softer, rounder cup than porcelain. The gourd styling gives this pot a silhouette you will recognize across the table. The material is the whole story here — everything else follows from the clay, as it should be. Lid fits tightly enough to keep aroma in the pot, which is exactly what you want in a daily brewer. Lid fits tightly enough to keep aroma in the pot, as it should be. What I like: it is a working pot, not a museum piece — brew in it daily. A well-used yixing pot becomes the brewer's favorite tool, and the small comforts add up.

It arrives as pictured — no surprises, just a good teapot. Your tea routine is about to get a small but real upgrade. Brew something you love in it first; first impressions count. Years from now, the patina will tell the story of every tea you brewed.
