This classic zisha teapot is crafted in the style of a pumpkin, a signature shape of the Yucheng kiln, one of the most famous Yixing producing kilns in China.
Tea pots made from Zisha clay (meaning "purple sand" in Chinese) are highly valued for their craftsmanship, porous nature, and ability to retain heat. It allows the tea to stay warm for longer to enhance the depth and richness of its flavor.
With a classic shape, this teapot pours smoothly and gracefully. After just a few sessions, it will develop a delicate, lustrous patina that is truly captivating. The longer it’s used, the more it exudes a warm, antique charm, making the tea taste even better.
