Yixing Zisha Teapot 320cc – Purple Clay – Classic Jinglan Tea – Openwork Lid Ribbed

A teapot should disappear into the ritual — this one comes close. Details like the ribbed are what make handmade pieces worth the money. Expect the openwork lid to look just as it does in the listing pictures. With 320cc of room, it brews comfortably for small gatherings of two or three.

Made from purple clay with a fine grain and a smooth, comfortable hand-feel. Shaped around the ribbed idea, the design stays balanced and easy to handle. No two handmade pots fire exactly alike — expect small, charming variations, which makes daily brewing just a little easier. Opening under the lid is wide enough for easy leaf loading, which is exactly what you want in a daily brewer. Proportions favor the hand, not the display case, which is exactly what you want in a daily brewer. A quick warm-up rinse before brewing keeps the temperature stable — simple, and exactly right.

A dependable daily brewer with classic Yixing looks. Years from now, the patina will tell the story of every tea you brewed. It will not be the last teapot you buy, but it may become the favorite.
