Are you looking to purchase Chinese Yixing Teapots? Yixing clay is among some of the most popular materials for Chinese tea Sets.
Tea set from China are a favorite to many families. It may be because of the origins of Tea itself coming from the days of the Emperor and originating in China.
Some of the most sought after Yixing clay teapot is the Zisha Yixing tea set. The Zisha Tixing translates to Purple Clay or Purple sand.
The clay can only be found near a city in China named Yixing, hence the name Yixing. This is sort of near the China mainland
The Yixing Chinese Tea Pot can be found many places, but in this day and age it’s easy to find a manufacturer online.
Green tea is probably the most popular of all Chinese tea. Though there are other teas out there, like Oolong, Black tea, white tea.
Typically I enjoy a nice glass of white tea. It’s a very light tea.
It’s said that what ever type of tea you put into your clay teap pots, like a Yixing clay tea set, for example. The tea set will actually hold the flavor of the tea itself.
So if you continue to tea brew or steep a certain type of tea in your Chinese clay teapot, that teapot will hold it’s flavor and after a while, you may even just place hot water in the tea set and the set will brew the flavor tea just from all the flavor that was absorbed in the clay.
There is actually an art to steeping tea that many do not know. It doesn’t matter what you steep it in, if it’s a clay or a porcelain teaset. But with the many different tea, like green, black, oolong there is different times you should boil the water to and different temperatures.
For instance, you might boil the water in something beside the Chinese sets that you have, but when you are steeping, the temperature for green tea should be around 180 degree. This is just under boiling.
If you’re looking for Chinese porcelain type tea pots, than I suggest that you do not look into Yixing teapots or tea sets. Yixing is a clay and not porcelain, but porcelain is very common materials for a Chinese Tea Set.
You might even purchase a Yixing teaset for a ceremony like a wedding. This is what many do.
