Teapots made from Yixing purple clay are extolled by aficionados as superior to all other types of teapots for brewing tea.
This is attributed to the unglazed nature of the teapots after firing that retains its porous nature, which is excellent at absorbing the flavor and aroma of tea.
After prolonged use, a rich patina will gradually develop on the interior of the teapot which enhances the taste, color and aroma of the tea.
Externally the unglazed surface absorbs oil from being handled, and with use grows more and more lustrous.
Legend has it that if a purple clay teapot has been used for a long time, one can simply pour hot water into the teapot to brew a cup of tea.
Besides their unique tea brewing quality, these delicately hand-crafted elegant Yixing teapots are also noted for their artistic beauty and are therefore many people's favorites.
