teanamu purple clay pot collection

These highly sought after, traditional ‘purple clay’ teapots are a thing of beauty and elegance. They are made from renowned Yixing clay, and are crafted in a gorgeous array of forms and colours.

The high iron content and beauty of clay from Yixing city have made it prized by tea makers for hundreds of years. The clay’s porous surface actually absorbs tiny, essential traces of the brewed tea, so much so that, after years of service, you may only need to add hot water to extract a delicious cup of tea!

Tea devotees are well advised to dedicate separate pots for each type of tea! Cleaning is very simple, just a good rinse with boiling water, then allow to dry.

Purple clay pots need to be seasoned before you first use them. If you would like us to season the pot on your behalf, please just let us know in the 'comment field' when you order. Be sure and tell us what tea type you'd like to brew in the pot. The seasoning service will take about 1 week.
