In an ensemble, each unique belt has an equally unique pair of shoes to match with. In tea drinking, the same meaning is the same, for one’s favorite tea, a set purple clay teapot and tea cups like this is the perfect match.
The rare purple clay found in Yixing, China is a substance almost covered with pores which allow the teapots and teacups to circulate air inside. This special characteristic makes the set hold more warmth than longer and retains more flavor and aroma the most than with other tea sets.
It is a surprise to know this, even more surprising that a clay teapot could do this.

There really is no need to finish that concoction in one single cup. The tea is best enjoyed by sipping it slowly, savoring all the taste it has and wanting more knowing that the next one will be better.
The outside surfaces of the set look glazed, like they were coated with a
transparent film or something. However, the secret lies inside the pot and cups, the unglazed insides. The no-glaze technique of the clay has the advantage of sucking in the flavor and aroma of the tea and returns them into the next brewing.
For this reason, it is suggested to use one tea set for one particular type of tea so that no unnecessary mixing of flavors takes place.
With this superb property, the demand for Yixing purple clay tea set has increased over the years. Sad to say, the production weans due to its massive use for centuries by royalties and commoners alike to the point that that the reserves are very much diminished.
However, the scarcity of the material is not the only reason for its limited production. The handcrafting of this set takes one craftsman with enough experience and training to finish. The design may look so simple, but the carving and shaping are things that only highly-skilled hands can make.

Just take a look at that perfectly aligned handle, mouth and spout of the teapot. With a height of 6.3 centimeters, width of 12 centimeters and a pot diameter of 5 centimeters, one will surely see a smooth flowing tea into the three cups, all 150 milliliters of it. This creation is a solid example of what a good teapot is, giving comfort and function.
The cups also have their share of the story. The 3.5-centimeter height of the cup is suited well for its 5.6-centimeter mouth diameter for easy sipping. Surely, one cup is not enough and one will breezily reach for the pot to pour another 40 milliliters of liquid satisfaction.
Tie guan yin tea, pu er tea and black tea, known for their strong-tasting flavors are the perfect blends for this set. The overwhelming aroma is slightly offset by the shapes of the pot and cups to make sipping more enjoyable. No wonder this set is themed as “round and integrating”. The absolute design just assimilates all the goodness of the tea and brings them back in full blast.
