http://www.ThisIsGreen.com editor Jan Manon takes a look at the XiYing Teapot from China, renowned for its excellent craftsmanship, distinctive variations in color from purple clay, and ability to retain flavor and aroma. The XiYing Teapot is free of lead and chemical glazes that can leach into tea.
Yeah it's definitely YiXing.... someone really should correct that. Also, I guess this is a "green" product... So are bricks? This is more of a cultural/culinary instrument or traditional craft. But yes, I suppose it is green. Until you take into consideration the extinction of some of the yixing clays! gasp!

Whoops! It should be spelled "yixing". BTW, if you are going to use yixing, for god's sake use some GOOD tea! :)
