As the prelude to spring unfolds, Tongxin She crafts the "Start of Spring Pure Gold Teapot" — a one-of-a-kind masterpiece forged with intangible cultural heritage handcraft techniques and pure gold. Boasting a golden capacity of 100cc that encapsulates the vitality of spring and a weight of 120g that bears the weight of time, this fully handcrafted teapot is offered in a single limited edition, presenting tea connoisseurs with a timeless artistic treasure worthy of passing down through generations.
"Start of Spring" ，the first of the 24 solar terms, symbolizes new life and hope — a life philosophy deeply rooted in Chinese culture. Drawing inspiration from this auspicious occasion, Tongxin She has created a teapot that harmonizes the eternal quality of pure gold with the natural law of "endless spring growth," while conveying the life aesthetics of "tea warming the heart" through its functional design. The teapot’s rounded body flows like an early spring stream, and the curved spout embodies the vitality of "breaking through the soil" — every detail reflects reverence for spring. Brewing tea with it is not only a dialogue with the season but also an integration of the auspicious meaning of "welcoming spring and embracing blessings" into each cup.
The teapot’s one-of-a-kind handcrafted nature endows it with irreplaceable collection value. From gold melting, forging, shaping to polishing, 36 intangible cultural heritage processes are meticulously executed by seasoned artisans. Its unique hammered texture and artisanal traces make it "the only one of its kind in the world," ensuring exceptional scarcity. Crafted from 120g of high-purity gold, it boasts both value preservation and appreciation properties; its chemical stability allows it to withstand centuries without corrosion, serving as both a high-end collection today and a "heirloom treasure" for future generations, carrying dual material and spiritual value. What sets it apart is its ability to transcend the decorative nature of pure gold artifacts, seamlessly integrating tea ceremony aesthetics with goldsmithing craftsmanship. The exquisite 100cc capacity is specifically designed for tasting high-end white tea and rock tea, achieving the ultimate balance between practicality and artistry — a benchmark work in contemporary tea utensil collection.
As a natural inert metal, pure gold is an ideal material for teapots. It does not absorb tea aroma or alter the acidity and alkalinity of the tea liquor, preserving the purest original fragrance and taste of the tea leaves. The 100cc golden ratio capacity ensures full integration of tea leaves and water temperature, quickly unlocking layered aromas. Additionally, gold’s gentle and uniform thermal conductivity prevents the tea from turning bitter due to local overheating, resulting in a smooth, mellow brew with a long-lasting sweet aftertaste and lingering throat charm. For seasoned tea lovers, brewing tea with a pure gold teapot is not only the ultimate sensory pleasure but also the highest pursuit of the tea ceremony’s spirit of "seeking truth and purity."
Tongxin She’s "Start of Spring Pure Gold Teapot" takes gold as the medium, spring as the soul, and craftsmanship as the backbone. It is not only an appreciable, collectible, and transmissible artistic treasure but also a precious tea utensil that accompanies tea lovers in savoring the moments of life. Limited to just one piece, it awaits collection by those who understand tea, appreciate craftsmanship, and value rare treasures — allowing the vitality of spring and the eternity of gold to embark on a long journey through the tea ceremony.
