Yixing 150cc 'Xiao Fang Gu' Teapot — A Classic Reimagined in Authentic Purple Clay

Discover the perfect balance of tradition and craftsmanship with this Yixing 'Xiao Fang Gu' teapot. Meticulously half-handmade from 150cc of genuine Zisha purple clay, this compact classic is designed to unlock the full spectrum of your tea's aroma and flavor. The 'Xiao Fang Gu'—or "Little Archaic Style"—pays homage to ancient bronze vessels, featuring a gracefully rounded body, a poised spout, and a circular handle that embodies timeless harmony and strength. More than a brewing vessel, it is an essential tool for the discerning tea enthusiast, promising a daily ritual of enhanced taste and quiet elegance.

Craft & Cultural Essence:

A Tribute to Antiquity: The Xiao Fang Gu shape is a refined, compact interpretation of classic archaic designs. Its balanced, dignified silhouette represents a perfect study in proportional beauty and is revered for its straightforward, enduring elegance.

Artisan Technique: This teapot is crafted using the half-handmade method, where skilled hands shape the clay and finish the details, ensuring each piece has unique character while maintaining the integrity of the classic form.

The Zisha Clay Advantage:

Superior Brewing Properties: Authentic Yixing Zisha clay is celebrated for its unique "double-pore" structure. This natural characteristic allows the clay to absorb subtle tea oils over time, while providing excellent heat retention and even heat distribution for perfectly steeped tea.

Flavor Enhancement: The clay's natural porosity interacts with the tea, gently rounding out flavors and mellowing astringency. It is recommended to dedicate this teapot to a single category of tea (such as Oolong or Black Tea) to cultivate a purer, more personalized flavor profile.

Designed for the Perfect Pour:

Optimal Capacity: The 150ml (approx. 5 oz) volume is ideal for solo enjoyment or intimate sharing, allowing for quick, controlled infusions that highlight the tea's evolving taste notes.

Functional Elegance: Every element—from the comfortable grip of the handle to the precise fit of the lid—is crafted for ease of use, ensuring a steady, drip-free pour that complements your tea ceremony.
