Yixing Zisha Teapots: The Soul of Chinese Gongfu Tea

Yixing clay teapots, also known as “Zisha” (purple sand), originate from Jiangsu province and are valued for their unique clay composition and breathability. Over time, these teapots develop a rich patina that enhances the tea experience and reflects the user’s personal tea habits.

Each teapot is often handmade, with artisans leaving distinctive marks that make every piece unique and collectible. TeaCask’s Yixing collection blends traditional craftsmanship with practical usability, offering teapots that are both authentic and functional.
