Made from rare and natural purple clay, these teapots are prized for enhancing the flavor and aroma of tea while offering a distinct aesthetic appeal.

The Ai Pan is the shortest and widest of the three, and its low, grounded form has come to symbolize stability and humility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wide, rounded belly gives large-leaf teas such as oolong plenty of room to open fully. A curved spout delivers a clean, drip-free pour, and the classic ear-shaped handle offers a secure, comfortable grip — minimalist and practical in equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOriginal Ore Zhuni (原矿朱泥) Clay\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis teapot is made from original ore Zhuni, a natural vermilion clay from Yixing.
