What Is a Yixing Zisha Teapots?
A Yixing Zisha teapot is a traditional Chinese teapot made from special clay found in Yixing, Jiangsu Province, China.

Popular clay types include:
Zini (Purple Clay)
Known for versatility and suitability for most teas.
Zhuni (Vermilion Clay)
Dense and smooth, ideal for aromatic teas and Gongfu tea brewing.
Duanni ((Segmented Clay))
Light-colored clay with unique texture and excellent heat retention.
