Our Story and Passion

Our journey began with a deep appreciation for the rich heritage of Chinese tea and the unique craftsmanship behind Yixing teapots. Unlike mass-produced ceramics, Yixing teapots are made from rare purple clay mined exclusively near Taihu Lake in Yixing, Jiangsu Province. This clay, known as zisha or purple sand, is prized for its porous texture that enhances the flavor and aroma of tea over time. We have spent years building close relationships with master artisans in Yixing, ensuring every teapot we offer is authentic, handmade, and crafted with traditional techniques passed down through generations.

One of our customers, Emily from California, shared how her Yixing clay teapot transformed her daily tea ritual: “I never knew a teapot could make such a difference. After a few weeks of use, my purple clay teapot mellowed the bitterness in my black tea and brought out subtle floral notes. It’s like having a personal tea ceremony at home.” Stories like Emily’s inspire us to continue sharing these treasures with tea enthusiasts worldwide.
