Yixing clay teapots, called Zi Sha Hu in China or "purple clay" teapots, are perhaps the most famous teapots for preparing Chinese tea. They are so called because of a small town located in Jiangsu province, where a specific iron mineral composition causes the unique coloration of these teapots. They were fired without glaze and used to prepare specific types of Oolong tea. Capacity of the traditional Yixing clay teapot: 250 ml. Peculiarities of Yixing clay A Zisha teapot needs to season before use, and then be improved daily. In addition to simple daily use, it needs to be rinsed and dried constantly with a soft cloth or with a tea brush or broom. Due to the porous nature of the clay, the teapot should be gradually tempered by using it to infuse one type of tea. Yixing clay teapots are intended to be used with black teas (red teas) and Oolong, as well as aged Puer tea. They can also be used for green or white tea, but the water must be cooled to about 85°C before being poured into the teapot. Yixing teapots absorb a small amount of tea inside them during brewing. After prolonged use, the teapot will develop a layer that preserves the tea's flavor and color. For this reason, soap must not be used to clean Yixing teapots. Instead, they should be rinsed with fresh water and left to air dry. Yi Xing, the city in eastern China, is famous for its purple clay teapots. The teapot has many features such as various types, exquisite design, perfectly hand-carved patterns.
