Natural Zisha Purple Clay Wood-Fired Teapot Size (approx.): Height: 6cm / Width: 9cm Capacity: approx. 160ml Weight: approx. 190g Origin: Yixing City, Jiangsu Province, China Material: Natural Zisha Purple Clay Craft: Handmade / Wood-fired Bottom stamp present. Perfect condition. The characteristics of Zisha wood-fired teapots are natural, rustic, and unique. The firing process with wood creates natural ash glaze and fire marks, resulting in rich colors and a rough yet warm texture. Its unique porous structure purifies water, softens tea, and enhances the flavor of the tea. This creates the charm of "one color in the kiln, a myriad of colors out of the kiln," unlike the smooth and uniform surface of electric-fired teapots; everything is filled with the unique marks left by fire and ash. Yixing Zisha is a unique mineral resource in China, also known as "Five-Color Earth," deeply hidden in the strata of the mountainside, and is a natural clay. Zisha teaware has gained fame for over a thousand years and has unique advantages when brewing tea. Zisha is rich in natural iron, which is good for health, and is resistant to acids, alkalis, and high temperatures. Long-term use of Zisha can avoid excessive intake of harmful metals such as aluminum ions, which can affect human health. The texture of Zisha is dense, the pores are delicate, and it does not allow water to permeate. The natural iron contained in Zisha has a resolving effect on fats. Scientific experiments have proven that after purified water is boiled in a Zisha rice cooker, the pH value becomes weakly alkaline, around 7.1, mineralizing the water, which is beneficial for forming a weakly alkaline healthy constitution in the human body. ■ Due to the shooting environment, the color of the photos may appear slightly different from the actual product.
