The value of a teapot doesn't lie in its size; craftsmanship makes it precious.
"Mountains need not be high; with the presence of an immortal, they become renowned. Waters need not be deep; with a dragon dwelling, they gain spiritual essence." This principle holds true in the world of purple clay teapots.
A purple clay teapot doesn't require a large body nor luxurious adornments. Like a delicate and charming hill, despite its small size, the teapot body bears the "immortals" of the millenary purple clay craftsmanship, endowing it with extraordinary charm. The craftsmen use their hands as brushes and the clay as ink, meticulously carving and polishing. Every texture and every turn is infused with their painstaking efforts, as if touched by immortals, making the teapot body radiate a unique brilliance
It is also like the deep and secluded pool. Within the teapot's universe, there lies the "dragon" of purple clay. When boiling water is poured in, the rich aroma of tea spreads, just like a dragon soaring, releasing boundless charm. This teapot is a blend of nature and humanity, a precipitation of time and craftsmanship.
Whether placed on an antique tea table or carried by refined scholars during their outings, it showcases an extraordinary temperament with its simple and unadorned appearance. The value of a teapot doesn't lie in its size; craftsmanship makes it precious, just as spiritual charm emerges naturally between mountains and waters.

Preserve Tea Aroma
The purple clay pot has a special pore structure, which endows it with excellent air permeability. This allows the tea leaves to breathe fully during the brewing process. Meanwhile, it can retain the aroma of the tea leaves effectively, making the tea fragrance more intense and long - lasting. Even after pouring out the tea leaves, the purple clay pot can still retain the tea aroma for a long time, as the saying goes, "tea won't turn sour overnight".
-
Enhance Taste
The purple clay pot can adsorb impurities and strange odors in the tea soup, making the taste of the tea soup more mellow and smooth. Moreover, it can adjust the acidity and alkalinity of the tea soup, presenting a more suitable taste and better showcasing the charm of the tea.
-
Maintain Water Temperature
The purple clay pot has relatively slow heat conductivity. Compared with tea sets made of other materials, it can maintain the water temperature better. This enables the tea leaves to release their nutrients and aroma fully at an appropriate temperature, which is beneficial for brewing tea. Especially for some teas that require high - temperature brewing, such as oolong tea, the purple clay pot can bring out the quality of the tea better.
-
Beneficial to Health
Purple clay pots are generally made of natural purple clay, which is rich in various minerals and trace elements beneficial to the human body, such as iron, zinc, and selenium. During the tea - brewing process, these minerals and trace elements will dissolve slightly in the tea soup and be absorbed by the human body, which is beneficial to health.
