Crafted from unique "Baimu Aged Zisha Clay" sourced from Huanglong Mountain in Yixing, Jiangsu Province, this purple clay teapot utilizes material naturally oxidized over three decades. The long-term chemical changes create a deep purplish-brown surface with sparkling quartz particles that shimmer under light. The clay was hammered over 100 times before shaping, resulting in exceptional density that optimally preserves tea aromas.
