Yixing Zisha Teapot 310cc – Purple Clay – Classic Xishi

Small pots, big flavor: the gongfu logic holds for this one. The 310cc capacity suits small gatherings of two or three.

You are looking at purple clay, the classic Yixing material that rounds out harsh edges in the brew. What I like: no two handmade pots fire exactly alike — expect small, charming variations. Look closely and knob, handle, and spout form a visual triangle that just looks right. Proportions favor the hand, not the display case, which is exactly what you want in a daily brewer. The clay remembers every tea, so the hundredth pot tastes better than the first — simple, and exactly right.

Simple, sturdy, and pleasant to hold: the whole pitch. It will not be the last teapot you buy, but it may become the favorite. A solid choice for anyone building a gongfu setup from scratch. The pot does not demand attention — it earns it, one steeping at a time.
