They are named after a tiny city located in Jiangsu Province, where a specific compound of iron ore results in the unique coloration of these tea sets. They were fired without a glaze and were used to steep specific type of tea. Because of the porous nature of the clay, the teapot would gradually be tempered by using it for brewing one kind of tea. We offer a wide variety of Yixing tea sets for dedicated tea lovers who cannot do without them. Each piece of Yixing teaware is individually handcrafted, and over time absorbs the flavor of tea.
