Handmade Yixing ShuiPing Teapot (170ml)

Yixing ShuiPing Handcrafted Teapot (Approx. 170ml)
Dimensions: 5.25" wide x 3.5" tall

Elevate your tea sessions with this Handmade Yixing ShuiPing Teapot, expertly crafted from authentic Zisha clay (紫砂 / “purple sand”) sourced from Yixing, Jiangsu Province. Renowned for its porous, mineral-rich composition, this clay allows the teapot to gradually absorb tea oils, enhancing aroma and flavor over repeated use. Its natural mineral content also supports excellent heat retention, ensuring that each infusion extracts the full depth of your favorite teas.

The ShuiPing (“level”) design is a hallmark of stability and harmony. With a low, rounded body and flat base, this teapot sits firmly on any surface, including water-filled tea trays. Its upward-angled spout delivers a controlled, precise pour with no dribble, while the ergonomic handle provides comfort for extended Gongfu-style brewing sessions.

This 170ml teapot is ideal for brewing oolong, puerh, and black teas. Darker oolongs benefit from the teapot’s ability to retain heat and enhance flavor, while raw and ripe puerhs are mellowed and enriched over multiple infusions. Black teas also develop enhanced sweetness and complexity when brewed in Zisha clay.

The ShuiPing shape is more than functional—it embodies balance, proportion, and elegance, reflecting centuries of Chinese teaware tradition. Its smooth, symmetrical lines not only optimize tea infusion but also make it a visually striking piece for your collection. Over time, the teapot develops a personalized patina or beautiful "aged" look/character, turning each vessel into a unique, evolving companion that changes visually and enhances tea flavor, with every steep on your tea journey.

The 170ml Handmade Yixing ShuiPing Teapot combines traditional craftsmanship, ergonomic design, and flavor-enhancing properties, creating an exceptional tea experience.
