The Yixing Swimming Dragon Teapot is a part of the ancient culture of China. The special clay from which this teapot is made is called Zisha clay. "Zi" means purple, while "sha" means sand.

Because of the porous nature of zisha clay, tea connoisseurs believe that each Yixing teapot should be dedicated to only one kind of tea. Over time, Yixing teapots develop a seasoning from repeated use, making the tea brewed from a well used teapot a special treat.
