The Yixing zisha teapot stands as one of the representative traditional handicrafts in China. This "Han Tile" zisha teapot showcases unique craftsmanship and practical value. Its exterior design draws inspiration from ancient Chinese architectural tile forms, featuring clean, powerful lines and seamless integration between lid and spout, exuding solemnity and rustic charm. The teapot's surface reveals exquisite texture, polished by hand to achieve a warm luster that conveys the artisan's dedication.

Crafted from special "Cultural Revolution-aged purple clay," this material originates from Yixing, China, mined and stored since the 1960s-70s. Decades of natural oxidation have fully blended its mineral components, resulting in deep, uniform coloration with distinctive purplish-red tones after firing. Teapots made from this clay maintain optimal brewing temperatures while absorbing tea aromas, gradually enhancing flavor complexity with repeated use.

The 200-milliliter capacity makes this handmade Yixing teapot ideal for 2-3 tea drinkers. Its spout design ensures smooth pouring without dripping, while seven internal filter holes prevent leaf blockage. Whether brewing green, black, or oolong tea, it maintains consistent infusion control for uniform taste.

Master artisan Chen Huajun, a nationally certified industrial artist with two decades of experience, employs traditional "inner-pushing" techniques unique to Yixing teapot making. This specialized method requires shaping clay walls evenly from within using custom tools, demanding exceptional precision to maintain structural balance.

When using this Chinese zisha teapot, initial preparation involves soaking it in tea broth to condition the clay. Regular use develops natural patina, enhancing surface luster. Post-brew care requires only water rinsing and air-drying to preserve clay porosity.
