Yixing

Yixing clay tea pots are considered by many to be the best device for making tea. Similar in style to more expensive yixing tea pots, these clay pots will function perfectly for everyday use. Why use clay pots? One of the special attributes of a clay pot is its ability to retain both heat and flavor. Because the clay is absorbent, some of the flavor from each brewing is absorbed into the pot, giving the tea a rich and mellow flavor. For this reason, many tea lovers use one pot to brew a single tea.

We are offering two carefully selected examples of clay tea pots. Each is hand-made in China and will easily accommodate the brewing of two cups of tea. Choose a style and design that suits your needs and taste.
