Lotus Teapot Yixing Baimu Purple Clay Rare Ore 220ml

Lotus Teapot — Yixing Baimu Rare Ore Purple Clay Zisha, 220ml

The lotus rises from the mud without being stained — a symbol of purity, nobility, and quiet strength in Chinese culture. This Yixing Baimu purple clay teapot brings that symbolism to life in a rounded, smooth form with a realistically rendered lotus motif. Crafted from rare ore Baimu purple clay (原矿百目紫泥) — named for its many tiny pores or “eyes” — by master artisan Liu Ruming, whose works are celebrated for precise proportion and refined detail.

Why Baimu Purple Clay

• Rare variety: Baimu clay is among the rarest of Yixing purple clays — prized for its fine texture, warm tone, and exceptional brewing properties
• Deep, warm color: Fires to a purple-brown to purple-red tone with a gentle, calm sheen
• Excellent breathability: Many tiny pores enhance aroma release and heat retention — produces tea that is mellow and sweet
• Living patina: Gradually absorbs tea aroma with use — surface becomes smoother, glossier, and develops a gentle tea fragrance over time

Craftsmanship

• Full hand forming, trimming, hand carving, polishing, high-temperature firing, and natural cooling — multiple meticulous processes
• Internal filter holes ensure fast, clean filtration without clogging
• Spout pours cleanly and neatly; solid handle provides a stable, comfortable grip
