This teapot's clay: Zi Ni (Zi Ni / Purple Clay)

A versatile purple clay with balanced airflow that brings out flavour without stealing aroma, and a body that holds heat well — an easy all-rounder for almost any tea. Because zisha takes on a tea's character over time, the tradition is one pot, one tea.

About the Square-and-Round shape

Its shape integrates the square and the round — a form that balances strength with softness — decorated with mythical Chinese creatures symbolising harmony, power and majesty. Also known as a purple sand teapot.

Best tea for a Zi Ni Purple Clay Teapot

As a Zi Ni purple-clay pot, it is a versatile all-rounder — you can brew almost anything and it will not fight the tea. It suits ripened Pu-erh, Hei Cha, roasted Oolong or Black tea. Following the one-pot-one-tea tradition, keep it for a single type once you choose.

Hand-made vs semi-handmade Yixing Zisha Teapots

Fully hand-made Zisha Teapots involve a long, complex craft, so their prices are naturally very high. Fully machine-made pots sit at the other extreme — mass-produced and, to our eye, without soul.

To find teapots that are a genuine pleasure to use, finely detailed, yet not overly costly, we chose semi-handmade Yixing Zisha Teapots — the body is shaped with the help of a mould, then the details are carved and finished entirely by hand. You keep the refined craftsmanship while the price stays fair. We do not sell fully machine-made teapots.

Whether semi-handmade or fully hand-made, every teapot we carry is made from genuine, natural Yixing Zisha ore clay — nothing artificial in the material.
