The special red clay contains unique components that miraculously affect water quality. When brewing tea, the material naturally releases minerals that transform ordinary drinking water into weakly alkaline liquid. This alkaline water is more easily absorbed by the human body, and long-term use helps regulate physical pH balance. Notably, this clay contains twice the iron content of regular zhu ni clay, gradually releasing beneficial iron elements during use.
