"Stretch the Tea's Taste for a Longer and Better Experience"-- Maybe You Need a Teapot That Can "Breathe"

Big time tea-lovers enjoy their afternoon tea as a break from the everyday stresses of life. A good way to enhance that pleasure is to own a teapot that brings out the best in your tea.

For that, you need a teapot that can ‘breathe.’ That’s why you should come visit this graceful teapot shop in Beijing.

Their teapots are made of Zisha, or purple clay. This material ensures that the teapot is solid but porous enough to breathe, so the tea left in the teapot can stay fresh for many days.

Also, Zisha absorbs the aroma of the tea each time you brew, so the fragrance of the tea pot grows and can add to the taste of your next batch.

You may like to know that Zisha contains no lead, and has been used for centuries to make teapots.

These teapots are delightful when given as gifts, or they can add charm to your own table. They come in all sorts of shapes: a gourd, a pumpkin, a castle, and a stump, just to name a few. And there is ornate calligraphy or paintings engraved on each of the products. Each teapot titilates both your eyes and your mind.

The owner, Mrs. Zhai, speaks fluent English, so communication should not be a problem.
