Red Xishi Yixing pot

These classic teapots are the perfect addition to any teaware collection. Holding 115ml, they are ideal for solo or paired steeping. The simple design and shape makes it easy to handle and the short spout reduces the potential to chip the clay. These pots can be used for a variety of styles of tea, but once you choose one be sure to keep it dedicated to that type.



Each pot comes in its own fitted box with a certificate of authenticity.



Yixing pots are iconic and are known as being the first teapots in the world. The clay is uniquely porous and will "drink" the tea that is made with it, allowing the consecutive steeps to absorb into the clay and enhance future steeps. For this reason, it is recommended that each pot be dedicated to one type of tea to prevent the crossover of other flavors. Over time, your pot will become more seasoned and make each pot of tea more aromatic and flavorful.



To care for your pot, rinse with hot water immediately after each use and allow it to dry completely before applying the lid. Never use soap or abrasives.



It is important to properly care for your pot to ensure its longevity. When you first bring it home, rinse it with hot water and then cold water. This should wash away the clay smell.
