MÉMOIRE POURPRE

240 ml • Zi Ni purple clay from Mount Huanglong • Handcrafted

Entirely hand-shaped in the renowned town of Yixing, this Zi Ni purple clay teapot embodies the spirit of Gongfu Cha: precision, depth, and a profound connection to the material.

The clay is sourced from the original mineral layers of Mount Huanglong, famed for their purity and their ability to enrich infusions over time. It grants the teapot a rare capacity to structure the water, stabilize temperature, and progressively elevate each brew. The subtle porosity of Zi Ni allows the teapot to develop a memory of aroma through repeated use, gradually amplifying the nuances of each tea family.

Balanced between minimalist design and technical mastery, its pure spherical form offers visual harmony and functional precision. The generous, low-slung body ensures optimal thermal inertia, ideal for the focused infusion of aged Pu-erh, Oolong, black and white teas.

The artisan’s seal is engraved on the base, a discreet mark of authenticity and heritage.

Each piece is individually hand-crafted without molds or standardization. Variations in tone, texture, or volume are not imperfections, but the signature of a living craft, faithful to the Yixing tradition.
