Iron Edge – Geometry Meets Ceremony

Each piece is meticulously handcrafted by experienced artisans in Yixing, seamlessly integrating traditional techniques with a refined modern aesthetic. This fusion creates a teapot that not only serves as a vessel for brewing tea but also as a functional piece of art that elevates the ritual. The craftsmanship emphasizes both form and function, offering an authentic yet contemporary approach to enjoying tea.

 

Sharp Form, Deep Function

Iron Edge embodies a bold reinterpretation of the classic Yixing zisha teapot, distinguished by its innovative crisp octagonal design. Its geometric octagonal body and precise lines communicate strength and harmony, making it a striking centerpiece for both casual and ceremonial tea moments. The 210ml capacity makes this teapot ideal for personalized or intimate brewing sessions, whether solo or shared, allowing you to focus on the nuances of each infusion. Its minimalist construction appeals to those who value clarity in design while appreciating the depth of flavor that comes with traditional brewing techniques.

Features & Craftsmanship

  • Handcrafted from authentic Yixing zisha clay—known for its porous nature, which enhances heat retention and develops a rich aging patina over time, enriching your tea experience.
  • Designed with a precise octagonal shape and lid that mirror its crisp geometric aesthetic, complemented by a confident handle for ergonomic handling and control.
  • The integrated multi-hole spout filter ensures a smooth, clean pour, preventing debris from entering the cup and maintaining purity in every infusion.
  • Created by skilled Yixing potters using traditional hand-building techniques, each teapot embodies timeless artistry combined with contemporary sensibility.
  • A Modern Gongfu Statement

    The distinctive geometric build not only provides excellent thermal stability—keeping water temperature consistent during brewing—but also accentuates the artisan's exacting craftsmanship. Ideal for darker teas like roasted oolongs, pu-erh, or even aged black teas, the octagonal body allows the mineral-rich clay to season gracefully with each use, subtly enhancing flavor complexity over time. Its modern minimalism complements the elegance of traditional gongfu tea practices, offering a vessel that stands as both a functional tool and a design statement.

    Care & Seasoning

    Rinse your Yixing zisha teapot with warm water before first use. Avoid using detergents or soaps to preserve the natural porosity and flavor-enhancing qualities of the clay. As you continue to brew, the teapot will develop a unique patina—a testament to your personal tea journey—reflecting the types of teas brewed and the care taken over time. This natural aging not only enhances the flavor profile but also deepens the character of the teapot, making each piece uniquely yours.
