Zisha Teapot: Handcrafted Xishi-style, premium purple clay, enhances tea flavors naturally.
$150.00The Zisha teapot is a treasure among Chinese traditional tea utensils, inheriting a millennium-old legacy through its unique material and craftsmanship. Priced at CNY 1050,
The Yixing teapot is a traditional Chinese handmade tea utensil with a history spanning centuries. Crafted from special clay, this teaware preserves the aroma of tea leaves during brewing. Today's featured purple clay teapot, named "Xi Shi", is made from zisha clay with a 200-milliliter capacity, ideal for daily use.
The name "Xi Shi" originates from ancient Chinese legends about a celebrated beauty. Its plump, rounded form mimics the curves of a classical feminine silhouette. The lid and spout showcase exquisite craftsmanship - the lid features a small spherical knob for easy handling, while the short upturned spout ensures smooth pouring without dripping. The ergonomic handle fits comfortably in the palm.
This zisha teapot utilizes purple clay from Yixing, Jiangsu Province. Rich in minerals, the clay develops a deep violet hue after firing. Microscopic pores in the material absorb tea essences, enhancing flavor profiles over prolonged use. The 200ml volume maintains optimal tea temperature for 2-3 drinkers without waste.
Creating a handmade Yixing teapot involves complex processes. Artisans knead clay to remove air pockets, hand-shape slabs into bodies, and sculpt individual lids/spouts for perfect fit. After 10+ hours of kiln-firing at high temperatures, each piece emerges unique with subtle handcrafted textures.
Proper maintenance ensures longevity. New teapots require initial boiling in tea broth to eliminate earthy odors. Rinse with water only after each use, air-dry with open lid to prevent mold. Accumulated tea patina inside enhances aromas - avoid mixing different tea types to preserve purity.
The "Xi Shi" purple clay teapot excels in brewing oolong and pu'er teas. Its material balances astringency while smoothing textures. Preheat with boiling water, discard first infusion as "tea wash", then enjoy subsequent brews with 10-second interval increases.
Weighing approximately 300g empty, this 12cm-wide, 8cm-tall teapot fits compactly on tea trays. Transport safely in cotton-lined boxes. Though handmade, careful handling ensures decades of service.
Collectors cherish zisha teapots for their unique character. With age, surfaces develop natural luster and deepen in color. The "Xi Shi" transcends functionality as a breathing artwork embodying Chinese craftsmanship.
Purchase from reputable sources: genuine Yixing teapots have granular textures and produce clear metallic tones when tapped. Counterfeits using chemical dyes pose health risks. This reasonably priced 200ml piece suits both beginners and connoisseurs.
In modern life, the Chinese purple clay teapot remains tea lovers' preferred tool. It facilitates full leaf expansion and mindful brewing rituals. Watching tea flow from its curved spout resembles observing slow-motion dance. Gently wipe with soft cloth after each use to ensure lifelong companionship.
