It is made of traditional Chinese purple sand, which is a kind of clay only produced in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province. It has been used in the production of pottery since the Song Dynasty (960-1279). The finished product has a purple-red tone, so it is often called purple sand. In the past time, but Yixing purple sand has not changed much, it is still full of complicated decorations, and it is only designed to satisfy the traditional Chinese tea drinking method, we hope that we can use design thinking to make a traditional product accepted by more young people, reuse the mud abandoned by the traditional market, and bring new vitality to the purple sand industry. Yixing purple sand is very unique, and the surface will change from rough to smooth with the passage of time, as if the process from stone to jade is fascinating, it seems that after being cultivated by human beings and then grown up, the object seems to have life. The reason is that after it is fired, there are countless invisible tiny pores. In the process of use, these pores will absorb and exchange with tea, and finally the surface will form a surface layer, and the texture will change. Taking this as a starting point, we design the tea leak in the traditional teapot into a modern building complex, so that the teapot is suitable for more modern home environments, and at the same time feel more about the relationship between tea and tea leak in the process of making tea.
