On Yixing Purple Clay Teapots
Yixing purple clay teapots are iconic traditional Chinese tea wares, crafted from Zisha cinnabar clay indigenous to the Yixing region. Their most defining feature is the dual porous structure, which makes the teapots both breathable and adsorptive. This structure can absorb unwanted off-notes in the tea infusion and lock in the tea’s fragrance, yielding a mellower, rounder taste for teas like oolong and pu-erh. After long-term use, the teapot body will retain accumulated tea aroma—even pouring only hot water into it will release a delicate tea scent.
With consistent nurturing from tea infusions over time, the surface of the teapot will develop a smooth, glossy patina with an elegant luster.Yixing purple clay teapots can be used to brew most common types of tea, and they are especially well-suited for high-fragrance and heavily fermented teas, as they can fully bring out the authentic, original flavor of the tea leaves.
