It's a compound clay rich in minerals such as kaolin, mica, quartz and has high iron oxide content. Used almost exclusively for making tea ware, it plays one of the central roles in Gong Fu tea culture. The umbrella name for all the Yixing clays is Zi Sha, which means "purple mud". How to take care of Yixing teapot?First of all, season it (you can but don't have to season it with tea). Boil water in a larger clean pot. When the water boils, put it on low heat so that the water does not roll too hard. Carefully submerge the teapot entirely (and separately from the lid) in the water. Leave it there for 15-20 minutes. Make sure that the teapot is not hitting the pot. That's it. Your teapot is ready for use. Seasoning not only will clean your teapot but also will seal the pores just enough not to be absorbing too much taste. There are many online videos to review before you season your tea pot. Wash the teapot using only hot water. Never use soaps or detergents as the porous clay will absorb these flavors. Don't use metal utensils or other abrasive metals on the Yixing pot as these can cause scratches. Store the teapot upside down with the lid off to prevent buildup of moisture or mold.
