Yixing potters borrowed its sturdy, drum-like silhouette, and the form has long been admired for its quiet, grounded strength. \"Yun Long,\" cloud and dragon, adds the ancient image of a dragon riding the clouds, a symbol of vitality, good fortune and the rain that nourishes the land. Together, the name pairs an everyday object with a mythical blessing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is a broad, drum-like cylinder with gently swelling sides and a flat lid that sits nearly flush with the rim, crowned by a small pierced pearl knob. The handle rises to a finely sculpted dragon head, and a short, sturdy spout gives a direct, controlled pour. One side is incised with a lively scene of plum blossoms, an orchid and a garden rock, signed with the maker's inscription and seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Clay: Zini\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted from premium Zini (Purple Clay)—the most classic and revered of all authentic Yixing clays—this teapot features a rich, earthy purplish-brown hue. Renowned for its excellent breathability and unique dual-porosity structure, Zini is exceptionally versatile, gently rounding out astringency and elevating the complex flavors of roasted oolongs, pu-erh, and black teas. With regular use, the naturally textured surface will gradually absorb the tea's essential oils, developing a deep, mellow, and beautifully warm patina over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearn more about Zini and other Yixing clays in our \u003ca href=\"\/zh-hans\/blogs\/zisha-teapot-knowledges\/the-soul-of-the-teapot-a-guide-to-zisha-clay-types\"\u003eguide to Zisha clay types\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"隐庐居 Hidden Brews Teahouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46400693403783,"sku":null,"price":249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/4798\/7847\/files\/lht2-DSC09329.jpg?v=1793593799","url":"https:\/\/www.hiddenbrews.com\/zh-hans\/products\/handmade-yixing-zisha-teapot-yun-long-jing-lan-180ml-zini","provider":"隐庐居 Hidden Brews Authentic Yixing Zisha Teapots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
