Yixing Teapot
Yixing Teapots
Yixing teapots are smaller than traditional teapots. The reason behind the making of the smaller teapots is that the contents will be emptied quicker, which ensures that the tea is always served fresh and hot. This innovative thinking means that you do not have the bitter aftertaste that often occurs when tea leaves are left in larger pots over extended periods of time.
One of the typical features of the Yixing teapot is its "chop" mark. This is where potter places his or her personal mark or seal on the bottom of each piece. This helps to identify the maker and shows off his or her workmanship for years to come.
Yixing teapots can vary widely in price from $20 for a simple pot made by a machine to thousands of dollars for collectibles and teapots with intricate handmade details and designs. The average price for a good teapot that serves 12-16 ounces is between $40 to $100.
When purchasing your Yixing teapot, give some consideration to its capacity in ounces. A general rule is one teaspoon of tea per six ounces of water for each person. If you are purchasing your teapot from a store, be sure to inspect your teapot inside and out for cracks, scratches and other imperfections. Make sure that the lid fits snugly on the top to keep the tea hot.
It is no longer necessary to search the malls or specialty stores for your Yixing teapot. You can order your teapot online at one of the few places who still sell authentic Yixing teapots. Not need to worry about your teapot arriving damaged, as each pieced is securely wrapped to guard against breakage. You can go online, order your teapot, and in no time at all you will be relaxing and enjoying your favorite tea in your Yixing teapot.
