The distinctive red clay originates from natural mineral layers in Yixing's Huanglong Mountain, formed through years of weathering and sedimentation. Teapots made with this clay develop a warm reddish hue that deepens with use, while its rich mineral content enhances tea flavor and aroma retention. The thermal properties maintain optimal tea temperature without transferring heat to the handle.
