Can you resist the fascination of this curiously designed Yixing purple clay tea set? It’s both artistic and practical.
You've never seen such a cool design. The lid of the teapot, handles, and inner walls are made of green clay, and the outer surfaces are black with green cuts piercing the dark surface. Green clay and black clay are the rarest varieties of Yixing purple clay.
Notice its sandy surface, which indicates it is genuine purple clay. Touch the pieces, and it feels like touching the finest of sand.
Then take a look at the brown button on the lid: it is in the shape of a Lingzhi (gyrophora), a rare kind of Chinese herbal medicine that represents luck, wealth, health, and longevity.

Local Anecdote: Chinese legend says there was once a fairy who came down to earth and fell in love with a man. This violated the laws of heaven, so the man became very ill and was going to die. To save him, the fairy risked her life to return to heaven and steal a special Lingzhi. Some ancient Chinese believed a Lingzhi could bring the dying back to life.
But it doesn’t stop there, because this set is the perfect combination of beauty and function.
The absorbent walls of each piece retain some of the fragrance, flavor, and color of your tea. So the tea nourishes your items, and the more you use them, the more beautiful and lustrous they become. Tea stored inside also adds to every infusion, giving you a stronger taste each time.

As you enjoy that flavor, look at spout, button, and handle of your tea pot: they line up perfectly straight. This guarantees your tea pours smoothly out of the pot. And the tall, V-shaped lip on the uncovered recipient is very difficult to craft; only master potters can make it.
Even in the hot summer, keep your tea in this set all day long without worrying about its freshness. The pot and cups are unglazed and porous, so they have great air permeability and can keep your flavor from going bad.
These great qualities are all because of the rare Yixing purple clay used to make this set. Yixing is a small town in southeastern China. This special clay has made Yixing tea sets the preeminent choice among tea lovers worldwide.

So what do you suppose this set is made of? It contains a special purple clay that can only be mined in Yixing, a small town hidden in southern China.
Purple clay is increasingly rare, because most remaining quarries are almost completely empty. Some Yixing potters admit they will have to close down in a few years, while others are holding out hope that an additional source will be found.
Legend has it that a god once visited the town of Yixing. Annoyed by the unpleasant taste of tea brewed with pots made of the common mud and amazed by the generosity of the sip le peasants there, he decided to give the town a mountain of purple clay to help the people and improve the quality of their tea. Since then, Yixing potters have held a monopoly on this resource and have made some of the most fantastic teapots in all of China.
But one thing all purple clay artisans have in common is the level of care and skill they put into every piece of pottery.

Check out the plump body of the teapot that holds in heat and keeps your tea fresh for hours. It stays stable on any surface, because the round shape quickly becomes flat for a secure base.
You even have two sizes of teacups that fit your liking. The tall, slim cups channel the aroma of your tea up to your nose, and Chinese people use them to sniff away tea fragrances. The shorter, round cups balance the flavor of your tea and are designed to allow easy sipping.
