Introduction to Yixing Zisha (Source: https://www.teapotandtea.com/overview-of-the-magical-yixing-zisha-clay/)

Yixing Zisha — Purple Sand — is the umbrella term for all raw clay materials found around Dingshuzhen, a town near the city of Yixing, in the Jiangsu province of China. Most Zisha comes from a particular place, called Huanglongshan, aka the Yellow Dragon Mountain. Yixing Zisha from this area is usually identified with the prefix “Benshan”, which means “Original Mountain”.

The Main Categories of Yixing Zisha

The names for each type of Zisha have unique origins. Most of the names come from the color of the clay after firing. These include some of the main categories of Zisha, like Zini (purple clay), Hongni (red clay), and Zhuni (vermillion clay). An exception to this is Lüni (green clay), which refers to the color of the raw material. (personal note: In my opinion, it’s more gray than green, but I wasn’t the one who named it… ).

Aside from the previous main categories, there’s one more: Duanni/Tuanni. Originally it was called Tuanni (group or mixed clay), which referred to a mixture of different kinds of Zisha. Most people were illiterate at that time, and in the Yixing dialect the words Tuan and Duan sounded quite similar, so the two characters changed. Nowadays it’s called Duanni. It didn’t help that there was another character, also Duan, that meant “Satin” as a color, which was a common color of the clay after firing.

Zini Purple Clay

Zini is the most popular and the most common of all Zisha. It is the original clay which gave Yixing its fame, centuries ago. The “Yixing Purple Sand Mineral”, by Zhu Zewei, also known as “The Zisha Standard”, distinguishes 21 kinds of Zini. The distinctions are based on their composition, location from which they were mined, and the depth they were mined. Some notable variants that we’ll talk about are Dicaoqing, Qinghuini, and Tianqingni.

Zini has good plasticity, high strength, low shrinkage during firing, and generally good performance through the whole process of making a teapot. Because of its ease-of-use, it became the most popular material during the dynasties, allowing historical potters to make many of the famous shapes and designs that are still common to this day.

Furthermore, because of Zini’s porous structure, it could greatly improve the taste of the low-quality tea the common people drank in those times. The color of the finished Zini teapot is usually composed of various shades of brown and purple.
