Purple Clay Tea Cup with insufer and lid (400ml)

Purple clay (Zisha) tea mugs, often made from Yixing clay, offer several benefits due to the material's unique properties. These include enhancing tea flavor and aroma, improving tea quality over time, and providing excellent heat retention. The porous nature of the clay allows it to absorb tea flavors and aromas, which, with repeated use, can impart a unique and enhanced taste to the tea.

Eco-Friendly Choice:
