The Black Yixing Crete Teapot 180ml with its lively decoration. It is a wonder to collect and use for your tea ritual. HANDMADE - The natural colour of this teapot makes it a simple yet unique object. Yixing clay teapots are made from Yixing clay, a clay, also called purple clay, named after the eponymous city in the eastern Chinese province of Jiangsu. In China, these teapots, born about the 15th century, are still used to prepare tea according to the traditional method. Yixing teapots are intended for use with black tea and oolong tea, as well as aged puer tea. They can also be used for green or white tea, but the water should be allowed to cool to about 85°C (185°F) before pouring water into the teapot. Yixing teapots absorb a small amount of tea during preparation.
