Yixing
Yixing clay, for authentic gong fu tea preparation. A selection of the most popular traditional shapes, made from the highest quality clay following masterful production methods.
Nixing
Nixing pottery from Qinzhou, Guangxi province, in southern China, has a history going back 1300 years. Made of a mixture of clays from the banks of the Qinjiang river, Nixing wares are typically baked unglazed at high temperatures to a characteristic deep brown colour and then polished to reveal an incredibly smooth surface. Teapots made of Nixing clay are slightly porous, but less so than Yixing ones, and may be used to brew all kinds of Chinese tea.
Chaozhou
Made of red clay from the Phoenix Mountains of Chaozhou in Guangdong province, Chaozhou teapots can be even more porous than Yixing teapots, and often smaller with thinner walls. Naturally, these teapots pair perfectly with Phoenix Mountain Dan Cong Oolongs as well as other lightly roasted teas.
Jingdezhen
Versatile porcelain teapots for brewing all kinds of Chinese tea, particularly aged and dark teas including oolong, pu-erh and black teas. The glazed ceramic is easy to clean and does not absorb any flavours or aromas, making these teapots perfect for everyday use as well as tasting and comparing teas.
