A One-of-a-Kind Soda-Fired Amethyst Masterpiece – Engineered for Solo Tasting & High-Aroma Oolongs.

Transformed by high-temperature wood fire and atmospheric soda ash, this 80ml Amethyst Purple Gaiwan (Zi Jing Gaiwan) is a singular, unrepeatable ceramic jewel. Featuring a breathtaking array of violet, deep sapphire blue, and milky lavender crystallization, its compact 80ml capacity is specifically engineered for tea connoisseurs who demand precise, high-concentration Gongfu extractions.

Golden 80ml Solo Capacity: The compact volume ensures instantaneous water discharge, allowing tea masters to flash-steep delicate high-mountain Oolongs, Wuyi Yancha (Rock Tea), and Fenghuang Dancong without bitter over-extraction.

1-of-1 Cosmic Amethyst Soda Glaze: Active sodium vapors react organically with mineral glazes under reduction firing, creating a glowing nebula-like palette of deep purple, sky blue, and crystalline iridescence that can never be duplicated.

Aroma-Concentrating Geometry: The tall, curved belly and gently flared rim trap volatile essential oils, channeling intense floral, fruity, and roasted rock aromas (Yan Yun) directly to the nose.

Living Crackle Patina (Binglie): Fine micro-fissures in the glaze naturally absorb tea tannins over time, darkening into an intricate, golden web that chronicles your personal tea journey (Tea Seasoning / Yang Hu).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is an 80ml small Gaiwan ideal for solo Gongfu tea tasting?

A: An 80ml Gaiwan allows a single drinker to enjoy multiple infusions without consuming excessive liquid volume. It requires less dry leaf weight while maintaining a high leaf-to-water ratio, enabling rapid heat retention and instantaneous pouring essential for unlocking complex aroma layers in Yancha and aged teas.

Q: What creates the amethyst purple color in soda-fired teaware?

A: The purple and iridescent sapphire hues are born from a delicate interaction between mineral oxides (such as copper, iron, or cobalt) in the glaze and active sodium vapors introduced into the wood kiln at peak temperatures above 1300°C. Natural flame movements dictate the final color flow, making each piece entirely unique.
