- Yixing 4 Ounces Chinese Traditional Teapot (5 Stars Online Store - Ezshoponline, Inc.)
- Purple clay's (Zisha) unique properties make it ideal for brewing tea. The porous nature of purple clay absorbs the flavor, smell, and color of the tea that is brewed in it. YiXing teapots develop natural tea flavor from repeated use, making the tea brewed from a well used teapot a special treat. For this reason, most people will dedicate a single flavor of tea to a specific YiXing teapot, so that the seasoning is not disrupted by cross-brewing.
- Yang GuiFei Yixin Tea Set
- Yang GuiFei was born in the Tang Ming Dynasty and selected to go to the Palace. One day, while enjoying the flowers in the garden, she happened to touch a flower that automatically closed when disturbed. A servant saw this and reported that Yan GuiFei was so beautiful that even the flowers were ashamed of themselves. (Seems that the quality of servants at this time was quite low.) Still, the emperor was intrigued and ordered her to appear before him.
Pleased with her looks, he kept her beside him as Royal concubine (it seems the real story is more complex than this simple statement). As a result, many of her family prospered by her influence in providing position and privileges, including a fellow called An Lu Shan. Later when An Lu Shan rebelled and successfully threatened the emperor, the Royal court had to flee. With some justification, the court blamed Yang GuiFei for their troubles and she ended up being hung.
The story about Yang GuiFei shaming the flowers gave her the name embarrassing the flowers.
The teapot is plump, representing Yang GuiFei's voluptuousness, which was the desired female shape at this time. Yang GuiFei was regarded as the perfect representation of this ideal.

Product of China. - All Natural Handmade Gaiwan, Dragon
- The Gaiwan means covered lid or bowl and predates the teapot in China as a tea drinking implement. The first item was a bowl used to drink powdered Green Tea, then someone fingured out that you could steep the tea leaves and get a different taste, and with that the Gaiwan or lidded bowl was born. The lid serves to both hold the heat in and strainer the leaves while either drinking directly out of it or while pouring into another cup. "Older than the teapot, the Gaiwan is one of the most simple and elegant ways to drink tea. The lid serves to strain the leaves while drinking the tea."
