Yi Xing Tea Canister

This Yi Xing Tea Canister will make a unique addition to your tea collection. Yi Xing pottery are unglazed items, like tea cups, teapots, and these tea canisters. Being unglazed, a yi xing cup, pot or these canisters absorb the flavors of the tea, steeped or loose. So, many stay true to this and will only store one tea it the container, just as you would only drink one flavor of tea in a yi xing cup, or steep one flavor tea in a yi xing teapot. And since they absorb the flavor you put in them, you never wash them with soap, as they will absorb the soapy water, Just wipe them out.

These Yi Xing Tea Canisters are like little works of art, as all yi xing teaware are. These have a chrysanthemum picture on the side. The chrysanthemum is a symbol of longevity and wealth in Asian cultures, as well as vitality and happiness, which is why they are in many Asian, especially Chinese paintings and on vases and other works of art.

The canister lid is very tight which will keep your loose tea fresher longer. If you want a special piece of teaware, then you need to check these out. They will add a nice touch to your collection.

Many will store traditional green tea in these canisters, and we have many. If you’re looking for a very traditional Chinese tea to try, check out our Jasmine Green Tea, or Jasmine Pearls Green Tea. Both well scented with jasmine, one of the most traditional tea flavors in China.
