Various types of purple clay are used in making purple clay Teapots, and the kinds of Tea people drink are diverse. However, which type of tea is most suitable for which kind of clay teapot? This is something worth considering.

Now let's mainly discuss Black Tea, Pu'er, Tie Guan Yin, and green tea:

Teapots made from duan clay, original green mountain clay, light-colored Tianxing clay, light-colored bluish-gray clay, and qing purple clay are absolutely unsuitable for brewing black tea, Pu'er tea, and dark tea. In particular, after brewing dark tea with original green mountain clay and duan clay, the pot walls absorb blackish tea stains, resulting in artificial discoloration.

Zini (red clay) and hongni (red clay) teapots are better suited for brewing Tie Guan Yin, rock tea, and other Oolong teas.

Deep-colored Tianxing clay and deep-colored bluish-gray clay teapots are more suitable for brewing black tea.

Ordinary purple clay and dark purple clay teapots are relatively better for brewing Pu'er, black tea, and dark tea but are not suitable for green tea.

Duan clay and light-colored clays are more suitable for brewing green tea (Biluochun, Longjing, Maojian).

Smaller capacity teapots are more suitable for brewing green tea; teapots with larger openings are more suitable for brewing Tie Guan Yin.

High-temperature fired Dicao Qing (liver color): suitable for brewing black tea and Pu'er; low-temperature fired Dicao Qing teapots are moderately suitable for any type of tea.

Jiangpo clay teapots are suitable for brewing Tie Guan Yin.
