Zisha Teapot Doesn-t Scald Your Hands When Brewing Tea: Is This a Myth?

Tea News · May 06, 2025

Online sources claim that the sand-like texture of a zisha Teapot conducts heat slowly, making it comfortable to hold or grip without burning your hands. Is it true that a genuine high-quality zisha teapot doesn't scald your hands?

Zisha Teapot Doesn't Scald Your Hands When Brewing Tea: Is This a Myth?-1

In fact, strictly speaking, a zisha teapot only conducts heat slightly slower than vessels made of materials like glass or ceramics. Some enthusiasts may misunderstand this or believe false rumors.

Here's what it should be: (1) While zisha conducts heat slowly, it doesn't have heat-absorbing properties. A teapot filled with boiling water might not scald your hands for a few seconds, but after a short while, the heat will transfer, so how can it not scald your hands?

(2) The only zisha Teapots that don't scald your hands are double-walled. However, any conductive material in a double-walled vacuum could achieve this, which isn't a specialty of zisha.

(3) Experiments show:

1. There is a difference between touching a zisha teapot filled with boiling water in winter and in hot weather; in hot weather, you immediately withdraw your hand, whereas in winter, you can hold the teapot for over ten seconds. 2: Elderly people or those with particularly thick calluses on their hands aren't afraid of getting burned. 3: The body of the teapot definitely gets hot, while the handle is less so. 4: Teapots with thicker walls are less likely to scald your hands. Therefore, does a zisha teapot not scald your hands when brewing Tea? That's all false information, misleading enthusiasts.
