Yixing 180cc Half-Handcrafted Zisha Teapot - 'Xi Shi Hu' (West Lake Beauty)

Embrace the timeless artistry of Yixing with this exquisite 180cc 'Xi Shi Hu' teapot. Meticulously half-handcrafted from authentic Zhu Ni clay, this classic piece embodies the perfect harmony of elegant form and enduring function. It is more than a teapot; it is a companion for your tea journey, designed to elevate the flavor and aroma of your cherished teas and develop a richer, more personal character with every use.

Artisan Craft & Design: The 'Xi Shi Hu', or "West Lake Beauty," is celebrated for its gracefully rounded, feminine shape that fits perfectly in the hand. This half-handcrafted piece combines skilled clay forming with detailed finishing, ensuring each pot is unique while honoring a revered classic.

Premium Zisha Clay: Crafted from genuine Yixing Zhu Ni clay, prized for its high iron content and fine texture. This natural material possesses a unique double-pore structure, which allows the teapot to "breathe," subtly interacting with and enhancing the tea over time

A Tea Companion That Grows With You: A true Yixing teapot is an investment in your tea ritual. It is recommended to dedicate this pot to one type or category of tea (e.g., only oolong or only ripe pu-erh). With dedicated use and proper care, the clay will gradually absorb the tea's essence, developing a beautiful, lustrous patina known as "包浆" (bao jiang), making your teapot uniquely yours

Thoughtful Details & Durability: With a practical 180ml (approx. 6 oz) capacity, it is ideal for solo enjoyment or intimate sharing. The fine craftsmanship ensures a comfortable pour and a snug-fitting lid, while the robust Zhu Ni clay promises a lifetime of service.
