Let's start with the material. It's crafted from rare Hongpilong clay mined from original mineral sources, a precious variety among zisha clays. The warm, natural-colored clay exhibits unique granular texture. Teapots made with this material demonstrate exceptional breathability, allowing tea leaves to "respire" freely inside. With prolonged use, the handmade Yixing teapot develops a smooth patina that resembles the caress of time.

The artisan behind this Yixing zisha teapot is extraordinary. Master Wang Qiming, a National-level Craft Artist, brings over 30 years of zisha teapot-making experience. Trained since childhood in family workshops, he particularly excels in creating undecorated "pure form" teapots that showcase fundamental craftsmanship.

This handmade yixing teapot involves entirely manual production. From clay slab hammering to final assembly, every step requires the artisan's personal touch. Shaping the body alone involves hundreds of hammer strikes to achieve uniform thickness and perfect curvature. The lid's seamless fit demonstrates technical mastery - airtight yet smooth-operating. Such traditional craftsmanship demands days of meticulous work even for skilled artisans.
