Purple Clay Xishi Teapot, Dark Brown, 7oz/210cc Chinese Gongfu Tea Pot | China yi xing clay ceramics Zini infuse for Loose Tea

Super cute teapot with a very interesting story. Definitely small, so know that first, but was a gift for a tea lover and they adored it!

At first I thought this teapot was defective, but then I sought to correct the flaws within myself and discovered quiet perfection. If the lid is too far back it has a vacuum issue that does not allow a good pour. When the lid is pushed forward it works well. If you rush the pour it "cries" over the front between the lid and pot. When you slow down, it takes a solid thirty seconds to empty this pot into the fairing pitcher. Capacity was 209cc when I measured it empty. Brewed several teas in it and enjoyed each of them. Raw and ripe pu'erh seem to be the best in this pot, oolong was good too.

I’m so happy with this small teapot! It’s the perfect size for one to two cups of tea, and it’s ideal for daily use. The design is simple but charming, and it looks beautiful sitting on the counter or tea tray. The material feels sturdy and well-made, with no cheap or flimsy parts. The lid fits securely, the spout pours smoothly without dripping, and the handle stays cool enough to hold comfortably. I also love how quickly it heats and how well it retains warmth. It’s great for loose-leaf teas too — the infuser (if yours comes with one) works perfectly and keeps the leaves contained.

The item itself is overall well made and looks very nice and feels good in the hand, however it's basically useless. No matter what tea/water ratio you use with loose leaf gongfu style brewing, the leaves will block the holes for the strainer on the inside not allowing any liquid to actually pour out after the initial rinse steep. Very disappointed in this product considering I bought it to actually use it, but you're better off using a gaiwan and strainer separately if you actually want to pour and drink your tea without problems. Maybe this tea pot will work better with puerh oranges or something that's more contained in the water to prevent the strainer from getting blocked off, but definitely not worth using for loose leaf.

Perfect size for gung fu tea. Looks good on the tea table and has a nice pour for the price. Works great, I use it daily. Best part, I don't have to worry about accidentally breaking it because it is so affordable.

This is just what I needed for my Gongfu Tea Tray. There is a tiny ceramic strainer that corresponds with the spout inside of the little teapot - of course - so there is no need for an additional strainer. It is beautiful as well.

Beautiful 7 ounce teapot for one or two people with quality ball-style strainer in the spout. I love the clean lines and elegant style. The handle is sturdy and the pot is well balanced. Great value for money.

Tolerances aren't very good so the stopper in the top is basically not functional but it's a decent little pot I guess, good enough for a starter pot

schönes und gutes Kännchen, ich habe keinerlei Einwände. Alles bestens!

Molto bella, fatta bene, unica cosa, è piccola, me l'aspettavo più grande, colpa mia che non ho letto bene la descrizione e ricordavo una teiera più grande, almeno il doppio, che aveva mio fratello . Ci si fa una tazza di tè, se condizionata correttamente, il tè verde risulta molto soave.

It was quite obvious even before purchasing that this wasn’t real purple clay, but rather painted ceramics. However, just due to the false marketing itself, this deserves the lowest possible rating

I really liked it

Es de una sola porción, aunque dice que es para dos. El material parece ser el correcto, su estética muy tradicional. Si no necesitas más líquido, funciona bien. No trae taza, algo que sería una buena aportación.
