CCCI's Yixing-ware teapots are certified lead-free. Our line of Yixing ware exceeds the strict standards imposed by the China's Pottery Research Institute and is also approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

To ensure this high standard of quality, we have hired experts in Yixing, China, to monitor and supervise the manufacture of our Yixing ware. Each teapot is hand carved with selected quality clay. Our design experts collaborate with local potters to adapt traditional designs and invent new ones. The teapots are then fired at temperatures exceeding 1,000 degrees Celsius. This gives each teapot its distinctive finish.

  For quality purposes, the pictures illustrate teapots that were destroyed, because they do not meet our company's standard.                                                   

Care and use:    YiXing teapots have the unique ability to absorb the tea flavor with continued usage. The fired clay contains tiny air pockets for insulation and enhanced taste of fine tea.

* For best enjoyment, first place one teaspoon 

  of loose tea leaves into the pot, then fill with hot water and drain. 

* Refill with boiling water, let the tea leaves steep for one 

  minute and enjoy.

* To clean, just empty the leaves and flush

  with hot water.
