Authentic Purple Clay (Zi Ni)
A relatively common type of Zisha clay, though truly superior quality is rare, while inferior grades abound. It exhibits a purplish-brown hue, often referred to by collectors as "Black Purple Clay."

One of the most widely accepted clays in the market, it contains a high iron content with noticeably coarse particles and a loose, porous structure. The teapot body forms a distinct double-pore system, ensuring excellent air circulation and breathability.

With prolonged use, the clay gradually reveals its hidden brilliance, undergoing remarkable transformation over time—making it an ideal choice for tea enthusiasts to appreciate the art of "raising" a teapor . Its evolving texture and luster serve as a perfect study in the cultivation of fine Zisha ware.
