The Unique Charm of Zisha Teapots

The popularity of Zisha teapots stems from their unique material properties and the dedication of their creators. The "Jianliu Dezhong" Zisha teapot uses precious Longgu Jinsha clay, sourced from the deep No. 4 well, one of the five renowned "Purple Jade Golden Sand" clays. Its uniform and robust texture, after firing at 150 degrees Celsius, earns it the name "Longgu" (dragon bone), offering excellent breathability. Once seasoned, the teapot's color resembles luxurious gold, adding an unparalleled elegance. The rarity and uniqueness of Longgu Jinsha make this teapot even more valuable.

Unique Spout Design

The design of a Zisha teapot often reflects the creator's ingenuity, and the spout design of the "Jianliu Dezhong" stands out. Named for its spout that resembles a sharp sword pointing skyward, it is called "Jianliu" (sword flow). Unlike traditional steel-spouted Dezhong teapots, this one features a curved water flow with a smoother cutoff, avoiding any dripping issues. This design enhances both the tea-making experience and visual appeal. The relatively large mouth of the teapot makes it suitable for teas like ripe Pu-erh, aged tea heads, Wuyi Mountain Rougui Da Hong Pao, and Guangdong Oolong, making it an ideal partner for these renowned teas.
