The Yixing teapot is a precious variety in China's traditional tea utensils. It is not merely a tool for brewing tea, but represents the essence of traditional craftsmanship. The Yixing zisha teapot introduced today bears a beautiful name - "Jade-like Orchid Heart". This poetic designation vividly describes its characteristics: a surface as smooth as jade and an elegant orchid-inspired silhouette.
Crafted from aged zini clay sourced from original mines, this Yixing purple clay teapot utilizes a unique natural mineral earth exclusive to Yixing region. After years of natural aging, this clay rich in mineral content develops a deep purplish-brown hue when fired.

With prolonged use, the body gradually develops a natural luster and softer coloration.
With a 70cc capacity, this compact Chinese zisha teapot is particularly suitable for personal tea sessions or sharing with 2-3 companions. The small volume allows quick infusion to prevent over-extraction bitterness. Despite its modest size, the curved contours ensure comfortable handling. The precision-crafted spout enables smooth pouring without dripping.
The artisan behind this Yixing teapot is Xu Shijuan, a national-level senior craft artist with over three decades of experience. From clay selection to final firing, every process is manually completed by the master. The entire handmade Yixing zisha teapot creation demands intense concentration, with the shaping alone requiring several days. The lid-body fit particularly tests craftsmanship, requiring seamless alignment with smooth rotation.
This Chinese Yixing teapot embodies Eastern aesthetics through its design. The rotund body resembles a polished pebble, while the bud-shaped knob echoes the "orchid heart" concept in its name. The handle's curvature underwent repeated adjustments to balance ergonomics and visual appeal. Eschewing ornate decorations, it showcases natural beauty through clean lines.
Using a purple clay teapot set offers multiple benefits. It maintains stable water temperature for even tea leaf expansion. The unique double-pore structure allows tea aroma to permeate the walls, eventually enabling the teapot to emit subtle fragrance even without leaves. This 70cc Yixing teapot shape particularly enhances oolong and pu'er teas, optimally releasing their aromatic complexities.
Daily maintenance of this China purple clay teapot requires attention to several details. Remove tea residues promptly after use, rinsing with clean water only (no detergents). Air-dry in ventilated areas. Dedicate it to specific tea types to accumulate characteristic aromas. Regular gentle polishing with tea cloth enhances surface luster over time.
