Ion Storm Yixing Teapot, 11 fl.oz.

For centuries, the Yixing teapots have been known to be the best vessel for brewing tea. With continued usage the clay, from which the Yixing teapots are made, will absorb the aroma and flavors of your tea, which is why it is customary to brew only one kind of tea in a particular pot. Over time, it is said that it is not even necessary to add tea leaves to the pot, just hot water. They have the ability to withstand high temperatures and are slow to conduct heat; therefore, the handle remains comfortably cool even when pouring very hot tea. Throughout the ages they have been renowned for their unique artistry and practical usage by incorporating the concepts of aesthetic beauty and natural harmony. Approximate capacity: 11 fl oz
