Crafted from precious "wrinkled vermilion clay", this teixing teapot utilizes one of the rarest types of zisha clay. The deep reddish material develops natural textured patterns resembling subtle skin creases after high-temperature firing. Its exceptional breathability allows tea aroma to permeate the teapot body effectively. When using this Chinese zisha teapot over time, even plain hot water will emit delicate tea fragrance. The clay has been aged for years, achieving an infant-skin smoothness through meticulous processing.

Maintenance requires particular attention for this china purple clay teapot. Dedicate it exclusively to one tea type to prevent flavor crossover. Complete drying after each use prevents bacterial growth. Gently polish with soft silk cloth to enhance natural luster through skin oil interaction. Avoid detergents that could damage the clay's porous structure.
