This 140ml handmade Yixing Purple Clay teapot, crafted by renowned artist Wang Yinfang 王寅芳, offers an exceptional tea experience. Originating from Yixing, China, purple clay (Zisha) is a rare, natural material that enhances the flavor and aroma of tea. These teapots are highly valued not only for their ability to improve tea quality but also for their unique aesthetic appeal.
Why Zisha Teapots are Ideal for Pu-erh Tea:
-
Absorbs and Retains Aroma: The delicate texture and excellent water absorption of Zisha allow the teapot walls to absorb and retain the tea’s aroma. Over time, this enriches the flavor of each brew, creating a smoother, more aromatic tea experience.
-
Superior Heat Retention: Zisha teapots maintain a constant temperature during brewing, crucial for bringing out the full flavor and aroma of Pu-erh tea.
Wang Yinfang, born in Yixing in 1966, draws on a rich family tradition and decades of experience, including at Yixing Zisha Factory No.1. Her teapots are celebrated for their elegant lines, cultural depth, and artistry. Shaped like a pear, this teapot blends grace and function, making it a must-have for tea connoisseurs.
