Zhi Tong Yixing Teapot

From the workshop of Gao Jian Jun, the shape of this traditional Yixing clay teapot is inspired by the shape of a cannon.
  • Every teapot is an authentic piece made from ‘zisha’ (purple clay) from the Yixing region.
  • Never use detergent on your Yixing teapot, just rinse it with water.
  • With time and frequent use, it develops a beautiful patina  on the outside - and inside is said to absorb the flavour of the tea leaves.
  • In China they are cradled in the hands and caressed like a ‘little pet’.
  • They are highly valued within the family and handed down through the generations.
