On the label: information shown on the packaging by the manufacturer. Not on the label: information that does not appear on the packaging.
Each product available on the platform is listed and sold by a partner seller identified on the product page. The platform acts as a metasearch/marketplace: it facilitates discovery and checkout, but the sale is made by the seller, who becomes responsible for the transaction.
Shipping is managed directly by the partner seller. The package is sent from the seller's warehouse or logistics network and handed over to the courier. This model enables more efficient deliveries and ensures that order management is handled by the party with actual availability of the product.
On the product page, you will find ingredients, allergens and nutritional information based on the data provided by the seller or producer, namely the official label. If you have allergies or intolerances, we recommend carefully checking the product page before purchasing and contacting the seller with any specific questions.
The platform was created to promote Italian food and make it more accessible. We select sellers in the food e-commerce sector with consistent catalogs and transparent information. Each product is associated with an identifiable seller and a complete information page: we want shopping here to mean buying with confidence.
Delivery times and costs depend on the seller and destination. At checkout, you will always find an updated delivery estimate before confirming payment. For international shipments, times may vary depending on the country and courier.
Unlike ordinary clay, which is soft and moist in consistency, zi sha is more like hard rock and, after various treatments, becomes suitable for producing vessels. This is why it cannot be used on a potter's wheel—only handmade or finishing production (assembling and gluing parts together) and casting are possible. The clay is found in layers: the upper ones are soft, and are used to produce inexpensive everyday dishes, including teapots. The deeper the clay, the more petrified it is, and the higher the quality of the resulting dishes and, consequently, their price. There are different proportions for mixing these clays, various additives (metal oxides, sand, calcined fragments, mica and pyrite), different firing temperatures, and different furnace atmospheres. All this creates a wide range of colors (from yellow to black) and textures, making the finished teapots so diverse. They may have a smooth or granular surface, even simulating citrus peel, with bumps and dents: everything depends on the master and their idea. Why Zi Sha Yixing clay? Yixing clay contains kaolin, which allows teapots to be fired at very high temperatures, as well as iron, silicon and small silicate particles, which give finished teapots brilliance and porosity. This allows the teapots to pass oxygen inside and enables the tea to “breathe”. Because of the high firing temperature, teapots are very resistant despite their apparent fragility. The porous structure allows the teapot to heat quickly and retain heat for a long time, avoiding temperature differences while drinking tea, which greatly negatively affect the taste. The kettle handle never heats up. Because of the porous structure, essential oils are absorbed by the walls of the teapot and, over time, the teapot improves the taste of the tea, making it softer and deeper, while adding its own unique “taste” from the accumulated essential oils.
