The name of Xi Shi inspired by one of the legendary Chinese beauty. Its design, suggestive of Xi Shi's figure, features a rounded body akin to a breast with the lid's knob resembling a nipple, complemented by a gracefully curved spout and a handle shaped like an ear.
Design of the Xi Shi Teapot
The Xi Shi teapot boasts a plump, rounded design, with a spout and handle that blend into its body, thanks to advanced crafting techniques. It strives for balance and elegance, avoiding oversized elements, notably in the delicately proportioned lid knob.
Ideally sized between 90-200mL, the teapot's charm lies in its ability to embody the essence of Xi Shi in a compact, exquisite form, avoiding larger dimensions that could compromise its delicate aesthetic.
Suitable Tea For Xi Shi Teapot
The Xi Shi teapot is particularly effective for brewing lighter teas, such as Tie Guan Yin, and Oolong tea. Its lightweight and porous structure supports tea's subtle flavors by providing gentle heat retention.
For Tie Guan Yin, the teapot's design allows the tea leaves to expand fully, enhancing their complex flavors. Similarly, its shape and size are ideal for rolled Oolong teas, facilitating leaf expansion and the release of unique aromas and flavors.
