A large shipment of Yixing clay teapots has just arrived. This collection includes a wide range of classic and sculptural forms — from traditional Shi Piao, Xi Shi, Han Tile and Fang Gu shapes to hexagonal bodies, flat horizontal kettles, Gongchun-inspired designs, bamboo and dragon details, and natural clay textures from smooth to frosted and gradient-fired surfaces.
In our new collection you will different shapes and volumes like:
-
Rounded Xi Shi forms with soft, balanced proportions
-
Sharp and structured Shi Piao silhouettes
-
Flat horizontal brewing kettles for stable pouring
-
Han Tile and Han-style square bodies with geometrical character
- Frosted, wood-fired and gradient clay finishes

Hexagonal and multi-petal shapes with precise geometry

Each teapot is made from authentic Yixing clay and woodfired, giving depth to the material and improving interaction with tea over time.
Why every tea lover should have a Yixing teapot:
Yixing clay is porous on a microscopic level. It absorbs trace oils from tea and gradually builds a patina. With regular use, the teapot becomes dedicated to one type of tea and begins to round, soften and deepen the flavor profile. This is not marketing — it is material science combined with long-term brewing practice.
A Yixing teapot allows:
-
Better heat retention for oolong, pu-erh and aged teas
-
Stable, controlled pouring
-
Multiple short infusions (gong fu cha style)
-
Gradual seasoning that enhances complexity
For anyone serious about tea, especially loose leaf oolong, yancha, dancong, sheng or shu pu-erh , a dedicated Yixing pot is essential. Over months and years, it becomes part of your ritual and reflects your brewing habits.
This arrival is one of the largest we have received recently, with many unique pieces and limited shapes available in single quantities.
