- The culture of Yixing Zisha Teapot integrates craftsmanship and artistry, transcending their role as mere vessels for brewing tea to become cultural heritage items that carry forward the legacy of skill and appreciation for life's finer aspects.
- It all began with a legend. People have been making yixing style teapots for over a thousand years, but it wasn't always a mainstream practice for tea brewing. Things started changing since a monk from "Golden Sand Temple" started selling his mesmerizing "Five Colors Clay" (aka Purple Sand or Zi Sha) around 500 years ago. That event changed the history of teapot making. People at Yi Xing, a place right next to Tai Hu"太湖" began using this magical "Five Colors Clay" to craft their teapots. The teapots they made not only looked extraordinary, but also brewed teas with a strong aroma and a more lively feeling on the palate. As a result, making teapots with the "Five Colors Clay" has since became the great tradition of Yi Xing. This "Five Colors Clay" is the Purple Sand we normally hear of this day.

- Purple mud is an interlayer of muddy ore layers, and the ore body is in the shape of a thin layer of lens.
- Purple clay is the purest and most representative clay in purple sand, and the pots made of purple clay are suitable for most teas.
- Purple sand is a porous material with a double pore structure, with delicate pores and high density. Brewing tea in a Zisha Teapot will not lose the original taste, and the fragrance will not scatter, so you can get the true fragrance and taste of the tea.
- The Zisha Teapot has good air permeability, and it is not easy to change the taste when using it to make tea, and it will not go bad after staying overnight in the summer.
