Yixing tea ceremony

The Yixing tea ceremony is a traditional Chinese practice focused on preparing and appreciating tea using Yixing clay teapots. Originating from Yixing in Jiangsu Province, these teapots are valued for their porous clay, which enhances flavor and aroma over time. The ceremony emphasizes mindfulness, precise pouring techniques, and appreciating the tea’s fragrance and taste. Typically involving brewing multiple small infusions of high-quality tea, it highlights harmony, patience, and craftsmanship. The process fosters a meditative experience and a deeper appreciation for tea’s cultural and sensory qualities.
