Yixingská Konvička 15

A traditional Yixing teapot in the Xi Shi Ru Hu (西施乳壶) style, characterised by its rounded body and the flowing curve that connects the lid with the body. Its name refers to Xi Shi, one of the Four Beauties of ancient China, whose name has long been associated with grace and feminine elegance.

The teapot is made from Da Hong Pao Ni, a fine variety of Yixing Zhu Ni clay with a smooth texture. After firing, it develops a dense structure and a pleasantly smooth surface.

Yixing clay retains heat well, making this teapot suitable for preparing oolongs, black teas and pu-erh using the traditional gong fu cha method. As the unglazed surface can gradually absorb tea aromas, it is best to dedicate the teapot to one type of tea or a similar group of teas. With regular use and proper care, the clay gradually develops a distinctive patina.

Enjoy your tea ritual — a favourite tea, a beautiful teapot and a moment just for yourself.
