The Yixing zisha teapot is one of the representatives of traditional Chinese craftsmanship. The set introduced today, named "Yuru Xishi Set", consists of a teapot and matching cups made entirely from original zini clay sourced from Yixing, Jiangsu - the most authentic material for crafting zisha teapots. The value of purple clay teapots lies precisely in this iron-rich special ceramic soil.

This 260-milliliter handmade Yixing zisha teapot features clay refined to 100-mesh fineness, where higher numbers indicate finer particles. The 100-mesh balance ensures surface smoothness while preserving the zisha's unique breathability, crucial for allowing tea leaves to aerate naturally and brew richer flavors.

The surface showcases natural matte texture from careful polishing. Fired original zini clay reveals deep purple base with silver mineral speckles - unique patterns formed naturally during firing. With use, the Yixing teapot develops warmer luster and richer coloration.
