The raw material for this Chinese Yixing teapot is exceptionally precious. It utilizes Huanglong Mountain Da Hong Pao zhu clay, found exclusively in specific mining areas of Yixing, China. After years of natural weathering, the clay particles become extraordinarily fine. Teapots made with this material maintain optimal brewing temperatures while fully releasing tea aromas. The surface reveals natural metallic luster characteristic of premium zhu clay.
