The Charm of Premium Golden Sand

The reason Zisha teapots are considered treasures among teaware lies largely in their unique material—Zisha clay. The premium golden sand used in this teapot stands out even among these exceptional materials. Golden sand is a rare type of Zisha clay named for its golden hue and fine texture. After undergoing ancient dragon kiln wood-firing, the color deepens, presenting an antique and noble appearance. This material not only breathes well but also effectively absorbs tea fragrance, making the brewed tea richer and sweeter.

Ancient dragon kiln wood-firing is a traditional firing method that requires significant time and effort. However, this ancient technique imbues Zisha teapots with unique vitality. Under high-temperature flames, golden sand undergoes chemical changes, forming unique crystal structures. These crystals not only give the teapot surface an enchanting luster but also enhance durability and thermal insulation. Each Zisha teapot fired in an ancient dragon kiln is an irreplaceable art piece.
