Unglazed yixing teapot was first created in the 1500 which is called zisha or the purple sand. It was found to keep the tea hotter than porcelain teapots. This reddish brown or green yixing teapots have become very popular in Asian countries like China and Japan.

This unglazed teapot is thought to bring out the flavor of Chinese teas and indeed, tea fanatics still adore this lovely yixing teapot as of this day.

Let your new teapot get "seasoned". A new teapot needs a little time to acquire a lining which will give its own seasoned flavor to your tea. This is also the main reason why you should only brew the same type of tea on the same teapot all the time.

Yixing teapots are sometimes decorated with all sorts of shapes such as the lotus flower, narcissus, fruits, bamboo trunks and so on.
