✧ Zhisa ✧

Zhisa (紫砂) is a type of natural clay primarily found in the Yixing region of Jiangsu Province, China. It is famous for its use in crafting traditional Yixing teapots, which are highly valued by tea enthusiasts worldwide. The clay's name comes from its characteristic purplish-brown color, though it can also appear in shades of red and yellow, depending on the mineral content and firing process.

Zisha clay is known for its porous structure, which allows it to absorb the essence of the tea brewed within, enhancing the flavor over time. It also retains heat exceptionally well, making it ideal for brewing certain types of tea.
