Finally,  the day has arrived. 

Introducing the MOST popular and classic Yixing Purple Clay Teapot, the Xishi. 

Let's delve into the history and design of this remarkable piece. The Xishi teapot, formerly known as Xishi Ru, draws inspiration from the shape of a female breast. 

While this teapot embodies simplicity, its elegant curves and overall aesthetic appeal have been meticulously crafted. It is the creation of Fang Xiuxia, a master in the art of Dragon Fish Teapot making, hailing from the renowned Fang family. Her expertise and solid foundation are evident in every aspect of this teapot's craftsmanship. 

Due to the shorter spout of the Xishi teapot, there might be some minor water leakage while pouring. However, Fang Xiuxia has dedicated herself to refining the design, including adjusting the water outlet and studying the optimal curvature. As a result, extensive testing has shown that most instances of water leakage can be avoided. Of course, the tea pouring technique also plays a role in achieving optimal results. 


Whether for personal use or enjoying a cozy tea session for two, the Xishi teapot is an excellent choice. Its versatility and exquisite design make it a perfect companion for any tea lover.
