While admiring this beautiful, distinctive monkey and peach teapot, you can smell the pleasant aroma of your tea becoming stronger and stronger.
Take a sip, and you may wonder why your tea is so different, and better than ever.
The reason is the porous clay this pot is made of: it’s excellent at drawing the best out of any tea leaves.
It also makes your tea more delicious by absorbing it and releasing the essences of past infusions into your current batch.
The Yixing monkey and peach teapot
This amazing teapot also keeps your tea fresh all day and night. So the next time you forget your tea while rushing out the door, it’ll still be good as new when you get home.
Rare Yixing purple clay is the secret to this pot’s amazing function, and such teapots are only produced in a small town in southern China. After being popular for thousands of years, remaining quarries of purple clay are almost completely dried up.
Some shops worry that they will not even be able to sell purple clay teapots in a few years.
Because of the situation, handmade, one-of-a-kind teapots like this have become treasures for tea aficionados worldwide. These works of art can never be duplicated by man or machine.
It took our master potter months to craft this exquisite design: the funny button on the lid features a monkey who is nodding off while holding on to a big, fresh peach. He must be too sleepy to enjoy his meal!
Check out the peach leaf on the body of the pot that adds a touch of vitality to the round, smooth belly. Carving such a design takes years of training. In Chinese culture, a monkey is considered a very smart animal. His favorite food is a peach. Why? Because his red buttocks just looks like a ripe peach, and the hair on the peach makes him think of himself! So a monkey feels quite comfortable grasping a hairy peach. The image of a monkey playing with a peach often appears in Chinese artwork, as people believe this can bring them wealth and good luck.
The Yixing monkey and peach teapot
The spout and the handle were carefully made to align with one another, which is a must in crafting a quality teapot. And your tea will be brewed to its fullest potential thanks to the tight-fitting lid.
Don’t worry that tea leaves may block your spout: it was made extra-wide to avoid clogging. And some nice lines on the handle make it easy to hold.
Also, this teapot doesn't contain any chemicals. It's entirely made of natural purple clay without any glaze or man-made materials.
This wonderful monkey and peach teapot is one you can't help but make your friends jealous while they admire it and you regale them with your newfound knowledge of Chinese culture!
