Specifications

The Craft

Yixing Zisha clay has been prized since the Ming Dynasty for its porous body and mineral-rich character. Unglazed, it breathes with the tea, and with each session the pot takes on a deeper, warmer patina — an object that gets better with time.

Pairing note: this set features a classic Yixing round teapot in purple clay (Zini) — distinct from our Xishi set, which uses the rounded Xishi form in red-brown zisha.

Care

• ✓ Rinse with warm water after use; air dry naturally
• ✓ For a new pot, steep a light tea first to season the clay
• ✗ Do not use soap or detergent — unglazed clay absorbs them
• ✗ Do not put in dishwasher, microwave, or open flame
