Product Story & Description

The Name: "Han Tang Shi Piao"

The "Shi Piao" is one of the most iconic and beloved classical Yixing teapot shapes, originally inspired by ancient stone water dippers. This specific variation, "Han Tang Shi Piao," is named after the legendary Yixing grandmaster Xu Hantang, who refined the traditional design to its most elegant proportions. In Chinese culture, the stone scoop shape symbolizes stability, groundedness, and the famous philosophical idiom "out of three thousand rivers, I only take one scoop to drink" (a metaphor for contentment and focus).

Design & Craftsmanship

This beautiful 250ml teapot showcases the hallmark pyramidal structure of the Shi Piao style, offering a low center of gravity and an incredibly stable base. Crafted completely by hand from authentic original ore Zi Ni (Purple Clay), it features a smooth, unadorned surface that highlights the clay's natural, warm texture. The teapot is designed with a straight spout for a crisp, powerful pour, a classic bridge-shaped lid knob, and an ergonomic triangular handle. Inside, it features a convex multi-hole filter (ball filter), ensuring a smooth pour even when brewing large-leaf teas.

Recommended Users

Ideal for both beginners and seasoned tea connoisseurs who appreciate minimalist, classic aesthetics and functional design. Because Zi Ni clay retains heat exceptionally well and rounds out the flavor profile, it is highly recommended for brewing fermented or semi-fermented teas such as Pu'er, Black Tea, and dark Oolongs.
