Holzbrand Yixing Xishi

Hong Pi Long clay is highly porous, which allows the teapot to absorb the essential oils of the tea over time. This process seasons the pot, gradually enhancing the flavor profile and aroma of the specific tea types you brew in it.

No, this teapot is designed for traditional Gongfu brewing and does not include an infuser. The spout is crafted to provide a clean pour, and the clay's natural properties manage the tea leaves effectively.

Rinse the pot with hot water only after each use and allow it to air dry completely. Never use soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb the chemicals and ruin the flavor of your future brews.

The wood-firing process gives the clay a unique aesthetic character and texture. While it does not impart a smoky flavor to your tea, it contributes to the overall heat retention and mineral interaction that defines the Yixing brewing experience.

With a 170 ml capacity, this teapot is perfectly sized for solo Gongfu sessions or for serving two people. It is designed for multiple short infusions rather than brewing a large volume of tea at once.

The teapot is made from authentic, unglazed Yixing clay, which is sensitive to thermal shock and chemical absorption. Dishwashers and microwaves can damage the delicate structure of the clay and leave behind residues that will permanently alter the taste of your tea.
