About Yixing Purple Clay Teapots
Purple clay is a special type of clay found only in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province. Purple clay is classified into several types depending on its burial location and fired color. In general, it has high plasticity, allowing for beautiful shaping of the entire form as well as intricate details.

[Features]
1. Absorbs impurities and enhances the taste of tea. Vermilion clay teapots are said to suppress bitterness and mellow the taste of tea through the reaction of iron oxide and tannins.
2. High heat retention, so the pot is not hot to the touch even when filled with hot water.
3. Develops character with use. There is a term called Yōko (pot nurturing), where the surface develops a unique luster and becomes beautiful with long-term use. The inside also absorbs tea components and enhances the tea's aroma.
4. Suitable for brewing ripe Pu-erh tea, Oolong tea, white tea, black tea, etc.

Ideal for Chinese teas such as Oolong tea, Tieguanyin, Pu-erh tea, white tea, black tea, Wuyi rock tea, black tea, Taiwanese tea, high mountain tea, etc.
