The “Huanxi” – literally “joy” – is a playful, rounded Yixing teapot that feels friendly the moment you pick it up. Made from Zhuni purple clay, it has a fine, dense body that reacts quickly to hot water, bringing out the fragrance and sweetness of your tea.

At 140ml, it’s an intimate gongfu size, ideal for solo sessions or sharing quietly with one friend. The dome-shaped lid and full belly give the pot a lively presence on the tea table, while the built-in multi-hole filter ensures a smooth, clean pour.

The interior is left unglazed, so over time the clay absorbs a little of the tea’s aroma and gradually develops a soft sheen. Each pot is hand-finished, and small variations in texture are part of its character.

Care

Rinse with warm water only and avoid soap or detergent, which can be absorbed by the clay. Allow the teapot to dry naturally after each session. For the best seasoning, dedicate this pot to one category of tea and enjoy how the clay becomes more glossy and expressive over time.
