Purple clay teapot set or Zisha or Yixing teapots.wmv

I bought some clay toys from China on my last trip. The sales lady at the teashop was using the pee pee toys to show how hot the water is needed to make tea. Now I have read that purple clay teapots or Yixing or Zisha tea sets are the craze in China. They have become collectible items and people can spend hundreds and thousands of dollars for them. If you have a set, don't junk it for it can be worth a lot of money, especially if it's good quality and you got it from a reputable store. Zisha literally means purple sand, from Yixing, Jiangsu province. The authentic Zisha or Yixing teapots have a distinctively sound to it,say when you put the lid on it. High quality ones supposedly have a ring like a bell. For brewing and appreciation of fine tea, purple clay teapots are a must have.
