The teapot uses premium golden duan clay sourced from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing, Jiangsu - a rare natural mineral material. After screening and prolonged aging, the clay attains exceptional fineness. The unique ancient wood-firing technique involves thirty hours of pinewood combustion. Flames naturally circulate within the kiln while random ash deposits create varying natural glazes, resulting in unique patterns ranging from golden hints to amber hues.

The shape references Ming Dynasty classics with smooth, rounded contours. The carefully calibrated curvature fits comfortably in palm. The upturned spout resembles a small creature's raised head while ensuring drip-free pouring. The flat circular knob enables single-finger lid operation for convenient brewing.

Daily use demonstrates practical advantages: The 120ml capacity serves 2-3 people with 4-5 small cups per brew. Zisha's dual-porosity structure gradually absorbs tea aromas. Regular use with one tea type eventually allows faint fragrance detection from hot water alone. Tea-nourished surfaces develop deepening patina over time.
