This aged zini clay ranks among the rarest materials for purple clay teapots. The deep purple-colored clay reveals dense metallic speckles across its surface. After high-temperature firing, the teapot develops a subtle natural luster. The tactile experience balances perfect friction - neither slippery nor rough, offering comfortable handling. With prolonged use, the surface gradually develops a natural patina that enhances its chromatic depth.

The Chinese Yixing teapot holds 250 milliliters, ideal for serving 2-3 tea drinkers. Its short straight spout ensures focused water flow during pouring. Distinctively, it incorporates 19 water outlets instead of the conventional 7 or 9 holes. This innovative design offers dual advantages: superior tea leaf filtration prevents clogging from broken leaves, while accelerated pouring speed maintains perfect control even when fully filled.

Using handmade Yixing teapots offers multiple benefits. The porous purple clay prevents tea overcooking while preserving original aromas. The warm surface provides comforting tactile pleasure during winter. New teapots require initial tea-brew seasoning, and cleaning should only use water without detergents.

Quality purple clay teapots develop emotional resonance through use. Regular tea brewing gradually nourishes the surface, revealing soft luster after six months of use.
