Title: Handmade Yixing Zisha Teapot "Liu Fang Li Xing" (Hexagonal Pear Shape) - 180ml

Product Story & Description

The Name: "Liu Fang Li Xing" (Hexagonal Pear Shape)

The pear shape (Li Xing) is a deeply loved, classic Zisha teapot silhouette, prized for its graceful, bottom-heavy curves that allow tea leaves to unfurl perfectly. By combining this classic roundness with a six-sided hexagonal (Liu Fang) structure, the teapot embodies the traditional Chinese philosophical concept of finding a balance between the round and the square—representing structural harmony, stability, and elegance.

Design & Craftsmanship

This 180ml teapot is a stunning showcase of geometric precision and traditional artistry. To elevate its artistic value, one side of the teapot features an intricate traditional motif relief carving, while the other side is elegantly engraved with Chinese calligraphy, offering a beautiful blend of literary grace and tactile craftsmanship.

Crafted from premium Zini (Purple Clay)—the most classic and revered of all authentic Yixing clays—this teapot features a rich, earthy purplish-brown hue. Renowned for its excellent breathability and unique dual-porosity structure, Zini is exceptionally versatile, gently rounding out astringency and elevating the complex flavors of roasted oolongs, pu-erh, and black teas. With regular use, the naturally textured surface will gradually absorb the tea's essential oils, developing a deep, mellow, and beautifully warm patina over time.

Recommended Users

Ideal for intermediate to experienced tea enthusiasts who appreciate the high level of skill required for geometric teapots and the aesthetic beauty of traditional engravings. The 180ml capacity makes it perfect for brewing Oolong, Pu'er, or Black tea for 2 to 3 people.
