🍃 Why Yixing Purple Clay?

Yixing clay is prized by tea connoisseurs worldwide for its unique porous structure that:

• Enhances flavor: Absorbs tea oils over time, developing a seasoned patina that enriches each brew
• Retains heat: Excellent heat retention for optimal tea extraction
• Breathes naturally: Micro-porous structure allows tea to "breathe" during steeping
• Improves with age: The more you use it, the better it becomes

🫖 Perfect For These Teas

• Ripe Pu-erh (Shou Cha)
