Yixing Zisha Teapot 400cc – Purple Clay – Monkey – Chestnuts Walnut

There is nothing fussy about this design, and that is exactly its charm. The walnut is the first thing you notice in the product photo. The chestnuts is the first thing you notice in the product photo. The 400cc volume is geared toward small gatherings of two or three.

The pot is purple clay, honest and unglazed, exactly as tradition demands. Traditional yixing clay needs no glaze; the material is the finish, which is exactly what you want in a daily brewer. Walls are thick enough to hold temperature across a long session — a small thing, but it matters every session. Proportions favor the hand, not the display case, as it should be. One detail worth noting: it sits naturally at the center of a gongfu tea table.

Keep it seasoned to one tea and it will pay you back in flavor. Place your order and start planning the first tea you will brew in it. The pot arrives as pictured, ready for its first rinse and seasoning.
