The Yixing purple clay teapot stands as one of the most iconic traditional Chinese handicrafts in tea culture. Today's featured "Classic Yangtong" exemplifies the perfect integration of artisan wisdom and natural materials through every detail. Its most striking feature lies in the rare golden duan clay from original mineral sources, revealing unique chromatic effects through special kiln-transmutation and wood-firing techniques.

Raw materials for this teapot originate from Huanglong Mountain mining area in Yixing. The mineral-rich clay naturally develops kiln-transmutation effects during firing. Artisans deliberately use traditional wood-burning kilns where dancing flames leave irreplicable burn patterns on the surface, making each zisha teapot utterly unique.
