Yixing Clay Teapots & Tea Sets

Chinese craftsmen have been creating teapots by hand from the unique purple clay found near Yixing city, Jiangsu province, for nearly a thousand years. Modern Yixing teapots are hand-crafted in the same manner and spirit of the antique teapots.

Since the clay is unglazed, the surface contains micro pockets of air, allowing the clay to gradually absorb the flavor of the tea. For this reason, it is best to use a different Yixing teapot for each type of tea you drink (green, oolong, etc...) and to clean by hand without soap.

Choose from an array of beautiful Yixing teapots, hand-made by skilled Chinese potters from selected quality clay.

These Yixing clay teapots exceed the standards of China's Pottery Research Institute
