Yixing Purple Clay Dragon Fish Teapot

The Yixing Purple Clay Dragon Fish Teapot is crafted from authentic Yixing raw ore purple clay mined from Huanglongshan, Yixing, Jiangsu Province. This purple clay features a fine texture and a purple-brown tone, with relatively low mineral content but high iron content in the clay vein. The clay particles are larger in size, forming a clearly visible double-pore structure that allows smooth air convection and excellent breathability. With long-term use, the teapot becomes increasingly refined and expressive. Neutral in nature, this purple clay is suitable for brewing all types of tea.

The spout connects naturally to the body, ensuring smooth and clean water flow. The handle is designed in the shape of a dragon tail with flowing lines, while the body is decorated with spiral stripe patterns that enhance both grip and visual appeal. The overall form is smooth, balanced, and full of dynamic energy.

Many tea connoisseurs regard the Yixing Purple Clay Dragon Fish Teapot as an indispensable piece for a tea enthusiast’s collection. Its unique qualities stem from Yixing purple clay (ZiSha), found only in Yixing, Jiangsu Province, and the skilled craftsmanship behind its creation. Yixing teapots are widely considered one of the best vessels for steeping tea.

Features:
• Unique Adsorption: Excellent ventilation gives the teapot strong adsorption properties. During use, it continuously absorbs tea aroma and gradually develops its own fragrance. To avoid flavor mixing, it is recommended to dedicate the teapot to one type of tea.
• The More Nourished, the More Spiritual: With frequent use and cleaning, the teapot becomes smoother, shinier, and more mellow in appearance.
• Resistance to Hot and Cold: The sandy texture of purple clay transfers heat slowly, providing excellent stability against sudden temperature changes and reducing the risk of cracking.
• Dragon Fish Design: Dragon tail handle, spiral body texture, and smooth proportions combine symbolic meaning with practical usability.
• Smooth Pouring: Naturally connected spout ensures steady, clean water flow.
