The clay material used holds exceptional value. Originating from Huanglong Mountain's native ore in Yixing, this ben shan lüni (mountain green clay) underwent decades of natural aging. This process allows complete mineral oxidation, resulting in smoother texture. When fired, it reveals a delicate beige hue with natural granular texture that better preserves tea aromas.

Using this Yixing purple clay teapot offers multiple benefits. Its dual-porosity structure absorbs tea essences - even water develops subtle tea fragrance after prolonged use. The ben shan lüni clay particularly enhances green and lightly fermented teas' fresh flavors. Simple rinsing after use suffices, as natural tea patina gradually develops protective luster.
