Additionally, the clay has excellent heat retention properties, allowing for optimal temperature control during the steeping process.

The craftsmanship of Yixing teapot is also renowned. The skillful artisans who create these teapots are highly trained and possess a deep understanding of the properties of the purple clay. They are able to expertly shape and mold the clay into a variety of intricate designs, making each teapot a unique work of art.
