Immerse yourself in the refined world of Chinese tea culture with this handcrafted Yixing Zisha flat teapot, made exclusively from genuine original ore purple clay (真原矿紫泥). With zero chemical additives, this teapot ensures safe, pure tea preparation while celebrating the artistry of traditional Yixing craftsmanship. Its balanced form, flat profile, and natural materials make it an ideal choice for both everyday use and thoughtful tea rituals.

The Unique Appeal of the Flat Teapot
Unlike standard teapot shapes, the flat teapot is characterized by its low, broad body—designed to allow tea leaves to open fully and evenly. This structure improves infusion, ensures stable heat retention, and enhances the depth and clarity of flavor with each pour. The widened mouth and streamlined spout allow for a controlled flow, helping tea pour cleanly and smoothly, without drips or interruptions.

The flat design also has aesthetic appeal: minimalist, modern, yet rooted in centuries-old form. It's a shape favored by seasoned tea practitioners for its ability to express the characteristics of fine tea with precision and clarity.

Perfect Size for Two
With a capacity of 170cc, this teapot is ideal for preparing tea for two. Its size encourages slower, more deliberate brewing, enhancing both the flavor and experience of sharing tea. Whether you're enjoying oolong, pu-erh, or green tea, this vessel delivers intimacy and elegance in equal measure.

Pure Craftsmanship and Functional Beauty
Every element of this teapot is crafted with intention. The round handle is shaped to rest comfortably in the hand, ensuring stability while pouring. The spout is smooth and responsive, allowing for uninterrupted flow. The lid sits securely with a rounded knob for easy handling. The wide, flat base provides excellent balance, while the unglazed interior enhances interaction between clay and tea, promoting natural seasoning over time.

Genuine Original Ore Purple Clay – Zero Additives
This teapot is made from true original ore Zisha, mined from the renowned Huanglongshan region. Unlike synthetic or blended clays, original ore Zisha retains its natural mineral composition, making it more porous, more breathable, and more responsive to tea. No dyes, glazes, or industrial chemicals are added—only the purest, untreated clay is used, fired traditionally at high temperature. Safe, natural, and built to last, this teapot is designed to mature with use and deepen in both beauty and performance.
