Materials and Craftsmanship

Material:

• Made from a unique blend of purple clay (zisha) and green clay, this teapot combines the best of both worlds. Zisha clay is renowned for its porous nature, which absorbs and enhances the tea’s flavor over time. Green clay adds durability, ensuring your teapot remains a cherished piece for years to come. Each teapot is 100% handmade by skilled artisans in Yixing, the heart of zisha pottery.

Culture and History

Zisha teapots have been a cornerstone of Chinese tea culture since the 16th century. Originating from Yixing, these teapots are not just tools but works of art, often passed down through generations. The Xi Shi Muse Teapot continues this tradition, offering you a tangible connection to China’s rich cultural history.
