The rare Huanglong Mountain duanni clay undergoes natural weathering, rich in minerals. Zisha teapots made with this clay develop natural granular textures, gradually darkening with use to form distinctive patina. Its exceptional breathability preserves tea's original flavor while absorbing aromatic notes.
