Han Wa teapot

One of the pot’s most practical and striking features is its exceptionally wide mouth, making it easy to load large tea leaves, ensure thorough rinsing, and clean with ease.

This distinctive Yixing teapot, shaped in the traditional Han Wa style, pays homage to the elegant curvature of Han dynasty roof tiles, from which it takes its name. Its clean, rounded form and arched lid handle echo the architectural grace of ancient Chinese structures, blending cultural heritage with refined functionality.

Inside, vertical rows of precisely crafted holes align with the spout, ensuring a fast, smooth pour. The compact 85 ml capacity empties in the blink of an eye. A gently curved spout and well-proportioned handle provide balance and control, elevating the brewing experience.

The fine-grained zhuni (朱泥) clay is renowned for its responsiveness and superb heat retention, slowly building a glossy patina that reflects the essence of the teas brewed over time. Especially well-suited for aromatic oolongs, or fresh Pu'er, this teapot excels in both performance and aesthetic.

Why do I need a Yixing teapot?

The material and shape of Yixing teapots are ideal for brewing tea. They bring out the flavor of the tea like no other tea vessel. Handmade Yixing teapots are also valuable handicrafts that are sought after by collectors. Their value increases with time, use and the popularity of the artist.

Yixing teapots are made from a rare and exhaustible clay that is mined in the mountains near Yixing, a city in Jiangsu Province. The high density yet porous nature of the clay absorbs the odor of the tea brewed in it. For this reason, it is recommended to use the pot with only one type of tea (such as black or green). Take your tea to the next level; treat yourself to an authentic Yixing teapot.
