This purple clay teapot utilizes exceptionally unique clay material. Originating from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing, the raw mineral clay belongs to premium Republic-era green clay privately stored for decades. Through prolonged natural aging, the clay develops a fine and smooth texture. After firing, it reveals a distinctive deep green hue with naturally formed speckles. Teapots made from this clay exhibit excellent breathability, gradually absorbing tea aromas during prolonged use, eventually developing an oily luster.
