This purple clay teapot utilizes premium aged zini clay from family reserves. Zini clay, after prolonged aging, develops refined texture that better preserves tea's natural aroma. With extended use, the teapot gradually develops a warm luster. The 200cc capacity Yixing teapot features a compact flattened spherical body with fluid contours. Its spout and handle curvature ensures comfortable grip, while the tight-fitting lid prevents leakage during pouring.

The most striking feature remains the bamboo leaf relief decorations. Master Li's carved bamboo leaves with clear veining appear swaying in breeze, complemented by bamboo-node-shaped knob. This natural motif integration reflects traditional Chinese philosophy of "following nature's laws".

Creating such Chinese zisha teapot involves 20+ meticulous steps. From clay purification to slab thickness control (affecting breathability), shaping through precise slapping/pressing techniques, to critical 12-hour firing at 1150°C. Tea preparation rituals include initial tea-brew cleansing, dedicated use for single tea type, and natural cleaning without detergents. Properly maintained Yixing purple clay teapots develop jade-like patina over decades.
