The "Longpiao" Zisha teapot has a capacity of 200cc and is made from purple clay, specifically zhuini (purple red clay).

The teapot body is slightly flattened with clear, well-defined lines, conveying a sense of simplicity and grandeur. The flat lid is thin and lightweight, resembling a bronze mirror, complementing the body perfectly and creating a harmonious beauty.

History and Culture of Zisha Teapots

Zisha teapots are treasures among traditional Chinese teaware, boasting a long history and deep cultural roots. Since the Ming Dynasty, these teapots have been cherished by scholars and refined individuals for their unique materials and exquisite craftsmanship. Beyond being mere tools for brewing tea, Zisha teapots are works of art that integrate ceramics, calligraphy, painting, and other forms of art, embodying the essence of Chinese culture.

The popularity of Zisha teapots is closely tied to their material. Sourced from Yixing, Jiangsu, Zisha clay is carefully selected and processed to create teapots with excellent breathability and heat retention. Using a Zisha teapot enhances the aroma of tea and enriches its flavor. Over time, a natural patina forms on the teapot, making it smoother and more jade-like, turning it into a true heirloom.
