Why Zisha (Purple Clay) is the best Ceramic for a tea pet?

Zisha also known as purple clay, has been the best material used in China to brew tea dating back to the 15th century.
Most of the chinese tea pets are handmade from Zisha or purple clay. This is because after prolong use, Zisha will absorb the tea,
and its surface will become smoother and glossier along with the aroma of the tea.
