The clay quality determines a zisha teapot's essence. This piece utilizes extremely rare premium stone yellow clay (270ml capacity), sourced from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing. After prolonged natural weathering, this deep brown clay exhibits golden sand particles. Through continuous tea brewing, the surface develops jade-like luster. Such top-grade clay has become exceptionally scarce.
