Master Yang Peng has access to high-quality materials! The Da Hongpao clay he uses comes from a small coal mine in the boundary area between Ren Tu Village and Hong Wei Village, west of Fu Dong Township in Yixing City. This clay contains iron oxide and has a shrinkage ratio of about 45% to 55%, giving the finished product both high aesthetic value and practical performance. When freshly mined, the Da Hongpao ore appears goose-yellow, but after careful crafting, the teapot gradually turns into a magnificent vermilion red, with a strikingly bright and elegant hue. The surface features fine wrinkles, and the color effect is pure and delicate, making it truly delightful to behold.

The Origin and Development of Zisha Teapots


The history of Zisha teapots can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, with its peak development occurring during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Zisha teapots, with their unique texture and craftsmanship, have become an indispensable part of Chinese tea culture. Compared to other materials used for teaware, Zisha teapots possess exceptional breathability and heat retention, which better preserve the aroma and flavor of tea. Whether it's Longjing, Pu'er, or Tieguanyin, using a Zisha teapot yields optimal results.

The Craftsmanship of Zisha Teapots


The process of making Zisha teapots is extremely intricate, from selecting materials, shaping the body, carving designs, to the final firing. Each step requires the artisans' exquisite skills and extensive experience. Master Yang understands this deeply, striving for perfection at every stage. The Da Hongpao clay he selects undergoes strict screening and processing to ensure purity and malleability. During the shaping process, Master Yang employs traditional hand-thrown techniques, infusing every inch of the teapot with vitality.
