Unlocking the Beauty of Cha Zhi Ji’s Yixing Purple Clay Teaware
At Cha Zhi Ji, tea isn’t just a drink—it’s a ritual, a craft, and a bridge to heritage. Our mission is to bring that heritage to life through handcrafted Yixing Purple Clay (Zisha) teaware made from natural, unprocessed ore clay. These teapots are born from traditional techniques and carry the spirit of the land in every pour.
What Makes Old Purple Clay Special?
Our Old Purple Clay (老紫泥) is carefully mined and aged in cool, humid cellars without any chemical additives. The longer the aging, the older the clay—and the better the performance. The result? Excellent breathability, smooth tea texture, and a warm patina that develops with years of use.
The Five Signature Clay Grades
We proudly present five exclusive clay series—each tested extensively for its unique impact on your brew. Here's how they perform across four key tea-drinking elements:
| Clay Series | Aroma Clarity | Texture Fineness | Body Richness | Mouthfeel Softness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diamond | ★★★★★ | ★★★★★ | ★★★★★ | ★★★★★ |
| Jade | ★★★★ | ★★★★★ | ★★★★ | ★★★★★ |
| Gold | ★★★★ | ★★★ | ★★★★ | ★★★★ |
| Silver | ★★★ | ★★★ | ★★★★ | ★★★ |
| Bronze | ★★ | ★★★ | ★★★ | ★★★ |
Each Teapot, A Work of Art
Whether steeping Liu Bao, Sheng Pu-erh, or Wuyi Rock Tea, our teapots allow each leaf to fully express itself. From visual design to tactile feel, every piece reflects the authenticity and refinement of Yixing tradition.
