Teaware
Chinese teaware is diverse, and rich in ancient history and philosophy. There are many different styles of teaware used for different occasions. The yixing teapot, also known as the purple sand teapot, is made with special clay that comes from an area called Yixing in the Jiangsu province. Yixing teapots are generally used to prepare more robust teas, such as oolong teas, black teas, and puerh teas. A gaiwan is a lidded tea bowl that is made of three parts: the saucer, the bowl and the lid. We recommend using a gaiwan to steep more delicate teas, like green tea or white tea. Discover the best ways to brew your favorite teas!
