Dingshu Town in China's Jiangsu Province is the birthplace of Yixing zisha teapot culture. In 2007, a groundbreaking event shook the pottery world - workers discovered a rare type of zisha clay during construction at Huanglong Mountain's No. 3 slope. This discovery site lay merely 50 meters from the famous Dashuitan mining pit, with the clay layer sandwiched between two giant rocks. The thickest section measured only 15cm, totaling just over one ton. The vibrant crimson-colored mineral prompted local miners to exclaim they'd found "dragon's blood vessels," as in southern dialects the word for "blood" sounds like "prosperity," leading people to believe teapots made from this material would bring good fortune.

This red clay was later named Golden Dragon Blood Clay. Laboratory tests revealed its iron trioxide content reached an astonishing 2.46%, nearly double that of regular zisha clay. This high iron concentration creates unique transformations during firing at 1180°C, when the purple clay teapot develops a rich Chinese-red hue with metallic luster, resembling gold leaf gilding.

Crafting with Golden Dragon Blood Clay demands exceptional skill. The gritty, low-viscosity material remains difficult to shape even when ground to 100-mesh fineness (comparable to flour). Master Yang Peng's 20ml handmade Auspicious Cloud Pan Teapot requires triple the usual production time. However, this challenging clay creates teapots with superior breathability that better preserve tea aroma compared to traditional base clay vessels.

Newly fired Chinese Yixing zisha teapots appear unremarkable with their earthenware texture, but gradual seasoning through tea brewing develops a jade-like patina. Many tea enthusiasts find maintaining these handmade Yixing teapots intrinsically rewarding, comparing the process to polishing rough stone into fine jade.

Master Yang's innovative design features cloud patterns and a leak-proof spout. The tightly fitting lid stays secure even when inverted, embodying traditional zisha craftsmanship. The 20cc compact size suits personal use while traveling.

Brewing tea in a Yixing purple clay teapot offers distinct advantages: The porous walls regulate temperature effectively, allowing proper leaf expansion. It maintains green tea's freshness and enhances pu'er's aged fragrance. Chemical-free material ensures pure taste preservation. Users report noticeably sweeter aftertastes compared to regular teapots.

With original Golden Dragon Blood Clay nearly depleted, Master Yang's 20cc creations preserve this rare material's natural properties while serving practical use. These Chinese Yixing zisha teapots transcend functional vessels, becoming collectible artworks that showcase China's extraordinary pottery wisdom.
