Xi Shi Teapot Dahongpao Red Clay Yixing Zisha Lotus 200ml

Xi Shi Teapot — Yixing Dahongpao Red Clay Lotus Zisha, 200ml

The Xi Shi is the most iconic form in Yixing teapot history — round, low, and perfectly proportioned, named after one of ancient China’s four great beauties. This 200ml version is handcrafted from Dahongpao red clay , the most celebrated of all Yixing zisha clays, by master artisan Shen Huifang — who has devoted her life to perfecting the Xi Shi and Shi Piao forms.

Why Dahongpao Red Clay

• Unique adsorption: Excellent ventilation allows the teapot to absorb tea aroma with every brew — develops its own natural fragrance over time. Dedicate to one tea type for purest flavor
• The more used, the more beautiful: Frequent brewing and gentle cleaning makes the body increasingly shiny, smooth, and refined — a living vessel that improves with age
• Thermal stability: Sandy red clay transfers heat slowly — withstands sudden temperature changes, safe for direct stove heating without cracking
