Yixing & Unglazed Clay

Yixing teapots are unglazed clay teapots that come in a variety of natural colors. They are also known as zisha hu “purple sand pots” in Chinese. They are prized for the high levels of iron in the clay, which holds heat and is said to improve flavor. Yixing ceramics emerged 5,000 years ago in Yixing County of Jiangsu Province.
