The Handmade Yixing Teapot iscrafted from authentic Zhuni clay (朱泥/ “red clay”) from Yixing, Jiangsu Province. This mineral-rich, porous clay absorbs tea oils over time, gradually enhancing aroma, depth, and complexity with each brew. Its excellent heat retention ensures stable temperatures, allowing teas to develop their full flavor across multiple infusions.
Fanggu (仿古) is a classic Yixing teapot shape inspired by traditional forms. Its low, rounded body and soft, balanced curves give it a grounded and elegant appearance. Although seemingly simple, Fanggu is a demanding form to make well because its beauty depends heavily on proportion, symmetry, and the relationship between the body, spout, handle, and lid.
A teapot for those who appreciate quiet confidence over loud design.
This teapot is perfect for brewing oolong, puerh, and black teas, as the special Yixing clay enhances infusion, gently mellowing flavors while bringing out the sweetness and richness inherent in your teas.
I purchased a tea pot and a green tea and cinnamon tea. I have used the tea pot almost daily and the teas are great extraordinary! The customer service was extremely helpful and courteous!

I had no idea!
As I trawled the internet, I discovered that this particular style of teapot has been made for a very long time, and it is made in varying degrees of artistry and quality. I especially like the wiggly lotus seeds in the pod/lid.

I live this pot!
I've been looking at this pot for months, and I finally decided on it. I use it for oolong only. Still seasoning it. I love the texture of this pot, its lid sings when I bring it around.
