The teapot's uniqueness lies in its clay material. This century-mesh aged purple clay from Jiangsu Yixing has been naturally oxidized for over 20 years. Through prolonged oxidation, metallic elements in the clay undergo subtle transformations, resulting in a deep purplish-brown hue after firing. The porous nature of this zisha teapot allows optimal tea aroma absorption without overpowering the flavor. With prolonged use, the surface gradually develops a jade-like polish from years of handling.
