Yixing Teapots

Yixing clay is an ideal material for tea pots. Clay teapots from the city of Yixing (Chinese: 宜兴) are known throughout China and beyond for their high quality and durability.

Yixing clay is able to “accumulate”, that is, absorb the aroma of tea, making brewed tea brighter and tastier. The more often you brew the better is outcome.
