Merc treads reduce the blind duration. You have to be very aggresive early level (1-5) before Teemo can level his poison and blind and before he can kite you. You sorta win duels, but he can free harass and kite you while you can't; so you either force him out of lane or get denied. Work on minion aggro and try to fore a retreat as soon as level 1. Putting more points than usual in audacious charge will allow to remain on-par with his damage until he counters you too hard.

Once he gets a phage or level 6 you probably can't do anything to him anyway. A Wit's End is probably a good ide at that point and is synergises well with Xin's kit, but Teemo is a counter to most AA champs so don't expect to win the lane.
