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.
However, this all-natural clay is running out nowadays, so not everyone can have one. Experts predict that remaining reserves will in just a few years.
Your room is even more tasteful and cultured with this rare set. It appeals to your guests, and now impress them with everything you know about it!
Guarantees: All of our tea sets are the works of master potters who perfected their techniques through years of tradition and training. We are proud to guarantee the quality of your tea set.
