A Yixing ('yeeshing') teapot is the brewing vessel of choice for the tea connoisseur. Made of a unique, mineral-rich clay found only in the Yixing province of China, their use dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). These pots are very durable and can withstand the rigors of daily use. Natural oils from tea are absorbed with each brewing, "seasoning" the pot and intensifying its color and finish.
