A spotlight on the rare Jiangponi, a paragenetic ore, used to make prized Yixing teapots. Gabriele explains the composition, origin, and use of these rare teapots, how the clay and firing affects their colour, and what makes this ore so unusual. Plus, we offer a chance for one quick and clever viewer to win a €20 voucher for our online store! Watch the video to find out how.

Terminology: Yixing teaware comes from the area around a town of the same name in Jiangsu, China, where stone ores are mined, ground, and mixed with water to form a clay (and then sometimes even aged). While functionally similar, this is not to be confused with a natural riverbed clay. The unique properties of the stone allow solid, yet porous vessels to be constructed with a fine degree of precision, ideal for teapots—this is why Yixing ware is prized by tea lovers worldwide.
