This handmade teapot is crafted from the original purple clay found on Huanglong Mountain in China. Huanglong Mountain is located in Yixing, Jiangsu, China, and is a famous source of high-quality purple clay. The original purple clay from Huanglong Mountain is a precious treasure given to Yixing by nature. This mineral material is hidden deep underground. After a long period of geological evolution, it is rich in various minerals such as iron, silicon, and aluminum. Its texture is delicate and simple, and its color is deep and rich, usually showing a range of tones from purple-brown to dark purple.
During the production process, craftsmen also use the unique "Ming needle" technique to repeatedly scrape and polish the surface of the pot with tools such as ox horns and bamboo pieces to make the surface of the pot smoother and flatter with clear textures. This not only improves the beauty of the teapot but also makes it easier for the teapot to develop patina during use.
It is not only a teapot, but it can also become a work of art with great collection value. Collecting it is a deep support and inheritance relay for handmade products.

Nearly A Thousand Years Of Handcrafted Heritage
Experience the craftsmanship of Yixing teapots and their nearly millennium-long history. Each purple clay teapot is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, from selecting the raw purple clay to weathering, crushing, and aging, then shaping the clay sheets, forming the body, shaping the spout and handle, and finally, finishing with needlework and high-temperature firing. Each teapot is a work of art, offering an extraordinary tea-brewing experience.
Preserving the True Flavor of Tea
Yixing teapots are crafted from a porous material with a unique double-pore structure, yielding fine, dense pores. Brewing tea in a purple clay teapot preserves the tea's original flavor and aroma, capturing its true taste.
Yixing teapots are highly breathable, keeping the tea fresh even on scorching summer days.
With age, the surface of the teapot will become increasingly luminous, exuding an elegant charm. Over time, through repeated use and care, it will gradually develop a warm, lustrous patina.
