This Chinese Yixing zisha teapot is made from precious original mineral clay from the No.4 mining pit of Huanglong Mountain in Yixing. The clay belongs to premium-grade purple clay material. After long-term aging, the refined clay presents a warm purplish-brown tone after firing. Touching the surface reveals distinctive granular texture, a hallmark of high-quality zisha teapots.
