Hi all,


I’m looking to buy 3 yixing teapot the size of 260-340 ml, at least 1 teapot is xishi shape. I’m looking for di cao qing and duan ni clay. I have 1 yixing teapot, it has a strange perfume kind of smell. I boiled it many time and steep in tea many time, but the smell still there so I decided not to use it to drink tea. Everyone know there are a lot of fake yixing teapot out there. I see some of yixing teapot in these websites I like. Let me know if any of you have good experience with these websites. Any opinions, suggestions, orhelp regarding these websites or buying yixing teapots would be appreciated. I don’t want another bad experience. I don’t care about half hand made or fully hand made. I don’t care about well-known artist or student artist. I just want good quality pure yixing clay without chemical or mix with non-yixing clay. Thanks in advance.

I have experience with The Chinese Tea Company, no experience with the other stores. Another vendor who has good price quality selection is Teasenz.

From looking at the price of Teasenz I don’t think all of their Yixing teapots are fully handmade and pure zisha clay. Can not have pure zisha teapot at a low price.
