Our story
Time Changes, but Our Teapots Remember
Crafting Timeless Teapots that Witness Love
We believe in
Every handcrafted teapot serves as a testament to the love and time invested in its creation. At TeapotArtisan, we believe that each tea moment shared is an opportunity to cherish relationships and celebrate the simple joys of life.
Where it all began
Six months ago, sitting across from my aunt, a renowned artisan of teapots, I listened as she spoke of a troubling reality: the craft of handmade Yixing teapots was disappearing, under threat from mass-produced imitations sold as authentic pieces. As I absorbed her words, one question kept resurfacing in my mind: If something so lovingly made could be undervalued so easily, could even love—built carefully, nurtured over years—one day be taken for granted too?
That question took me back to my earliest memories, where teapot had always been a part of my family’s time together. As a child, I would sit in the living room with my parents, sharing tea while happily telling amusing stories from school. In high school, as my studies became more demanding, my mother would prepare a pot of tea to help me stay alert. Later, as I began working, I would come home on weekends, exhausted, to join my parents again for tea. Over the years, that small teapot became a silent witness to my life. Each cup poured from it may have tasted different at each stage, yet at its core, it always held the essence of love.
Whenever I think of that teapot, I’m reminded of the taste of tea and the precious moments shared with loved ones. That’s why I founded TeapotArtisan: to honor and preserve this craft and to help others cherish the time spent with their loved ones. My hope is simple: to let love transcend time and for our teapots to foster connections that weave through life’s moments.

We’ve noticed that most teapots on the market today prioritize functionality: large-capacity pots, mass-produced designs, and stovetop-ready models—all aimed at convenience and speed. But we believe that tea can be enjoyed in a way that’s neither convenient nor rushed.
More Than Functional
Our hope is that this ritual of slowing down and savoring tea creates a space for you to reconnect—with yourself, with those around you, and with the art that brings this experience to life.
