Yixing "Wangjie" 110ml Teapot

Yixing "Wengjie" Handcrafted Teapot (Approx. 110ml)
Dimensions: 4.75" wide x 3" tall

Bring a piece of traditional Chinese tea culture to your table with this "Wengjie" Yixing teapot, crafted from authentic Zisha clay (紫砂 / “purple sand”) sourced from Yixing, Jiangsu Province. Celebrated for its porous, mineral-rich composition, Zisha clay allows the teapot to absorb tea oils over time, gradually enhancing flavor and aroma with repeated use. Its natural minerals, including quartz, mica, and hematite, also provide excellent heat retention, helping teas brew evenly across multiple infusions.

This 110ml teapot follows the classic ShuiPing (水平壶 / “level teapot”) design, renowned for its balance, stability, and precision. The teapot’s low, rounded body with a flat base ensures a steady platform, even when placed in a water-filled tea tray. The upward-angled spout allows for a smooth, controlled pour, while the ergonomic handle fits comfortably in the hand for multiple infusions without fatigue.

The ShuiPing design is steeped in tradition, originating in the Ming Dynasty to address practical brewing needs. Its proportions and symmetry reflect Chinese principles of balance and harmony, uniting form and function into a vessel that is both elegant and highly practical.

Perfect for brewing oolongs, puerh, and black teas, this Wengjie teapot excels with darker oolongs like Tieguanyin and Da Hong Pao, as well as raw and ripe puerhs, which benefit from the teapot’s ability to mellow and deepen flavors over time. Black teas also gain enhanced sweetness and complexity when brewed in Zisha clay.

Compact yet thoughtfully designed, the 110ml Wengjie teapot is ideal for personal tea sessions or servings small groups, bringing the heritage of Yixing craftsmanship and the precision of Gongfu brewing to every cup.
