Yin Long Qin Quan Yixing Teapot | Raw Tie Xue Hong Sha Iron-Red Clay | Handcrafted 260ml

Yin Long Qin Quan — The Hidden Dragon, Balanced as an Ancient Weight

Rooted in antiquity, refined by a master's hand — the Yin Long Qin Quan Yixing Teapot draws its name from the Qin Quan, the iconic bronze weights of the Qin Dynasty, symbols of authority, balance, and timeless order. Sculpted from authentic raw Tie Xue Hong Sha (铁血红砂) iron-red ore clay by an accomplished master artisan, this teapot carries the quiet power of history in every curve.

Tie Xue Hong Sha — A Clay of Primal Strength

Tie Xue Hong Sha (Iron Blood Red Sand) is a raw ore clay of exceptional mineral density, prized across generations for its deep, burnished red tone and the dramatic transformation it undergoes with devoted use. High in iron, grounded in character — this clay begins with an honest, earthy presence and gradually reveals a darkening, jewel-like warmth that deepens with every tea session. The longer you use it, the more magnificent it becomes. This is the ancient art of yanghu: your teapot, seasoned by your hands and your teas, becoming uniquely yours.

One Fluid Form, Sculpted in a Single Breath

The Qin Quan silhouette is a study in elegant restraint. Spout, handle, and body flow as one unbroken line — conceived and executed in a single creative gesture, with no interruption, no excess. The form is compact, assured, and deeply satisfying in the hand — simple on the surface, masterful beneath. A teapot made not just to be admired, but to be used, held, and loved.

Best Paired With

The 260ml capacity and the mineral depth of Tie Xue Hong Sha make this an ideal vessel for aged Pu-erh (Shou/Ripe), aged White Tea, and Black Tea (Hong Cha). The clay's breathability draws out the earthy, layered complexity of fermented and aged teas with exceptional purity. Following the time-honored tradition: one teapot, one tea — dedicate this pot to a single tea type and allow both to reach their fullest, most authentic expression.
