The Yixing Clay Happiness Longevity Square Teapot is handmade from raw ore black clay. It has a square body with clear lines and structured edges. Both sides are decorated with square textures and carved with the Chinese characters "Happiness" and "Longevity."
The lid, handle and spout are all square to match the body. The lid is easy to handle, the handle gives a comfortable grip, and the spout is designed to pour smoothly and steadily.
The clay is porous and absorbs tea aroma over time. To keep flavors pure, use one teapot for one type of tea. The sandy structure of the black clay transfers heat slowly, which gives it stability under temperature changes and lowers the risk of cracking. With frequent use and cleaning, the surface becomes smoother and shinier.
