- This gorgeous zisha (purple-sand) teapot are made from genuine forty-year-old clay. These pots are a copy of a special type of Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) teapots. There was a famous merchant named Mr. Pan who was a Yixing lover and collector, ordering many teapots for himself and his businesses. He ordered only a few special shapes, which all came to be known as "Pan Teapots." These shapes are great for tea and come to be loved and copied by those seeking teapots for gongfu tea brewing, as opposed to teapots as artworks. These pots can be used to make any tea, but are especially suited to any striped tea, especially for cliff tea.
- This beautiful teapot is a timeless classic beloved by many Yixing teapot lovers. There are three types of Zisha Pan Hu: high profile, middle profile, and low profile. This teapot is the low profile with the body gradually widening from a smaller top to a larger belly. In Chinese Zen philosophy, a big belly is usually associated with a generous and tolerant attitude. In contrast to the wider body, the spout shape is based on a "three angled lines" structure, which are curved and smoothed to soften the sturdy impression of the whole body, also making it easy to pour. The lid is shaped like a bowl hat with a lovely bead adorning the top. Overall, the simple yet graceful looking teapot will surely add enjoyment to your daily tea ritual.
- The texture is soft and delicate, and the overall appearance is a light yellow tone. If you look closely, it will appear yellow with bluish tint. After soaking and curing, it will show a unique jade texture.
- The shape of this pot is calm and solid, the structure is uniform and beautiful, round yet elegant, simple yet antique.
- The belly is big and can accommodate, and the momentum is extraordinary.
- The purple clay pot is a unique hand-made clay handicraft in China. Its production began in the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. The raw material for the production is purple clay. The origin is Dingshu Town, Yixing, Jiangsu Province.
- The purple clay teapot has good air permeability, which helps the tea to fully ferment and improve its taste. The tea brewed in the Dahongpao Zisha teapot includes Pu'er tea, Tieguanyin, oolong tea, etc. Its color is bright and eye-catching, which looks auspicious. It can retain the fragrance of the tea itself to a greater extent and make the fragrance of the tea more beautiful, intense, and long-lasting.
