Wholesale Yixing clay cups 50 ml each, 2 pcs

These Yixing clay cups are made with a special Chinese clay called Yixing. Yixing accessories, known as Zi Sha Hu in China or "purple clay" accessories, are perhaps the most famous Chinese accessories. They are named after a small town located in Jiangsu province, where a specific iron mineral compound causes the unique coloring of these accessories. They were fired without glaze and used to prepare specific types of Oolong tea. The porosity of Yixing clay Due to the porous nature of the clay, the accessory should be gradually seasoned by using it to brew a type of tea. This seasoning was part of the reason for using Yixing accessories.
