Hongpilong clay undergoes extended aging to enhance plasticity, developing dual-porosity structure after firing. This unique structure enables excellent breathability, maintaining temperature while preventing bitter over-steeping. With use, the teapot develops a lustrous patina through "pot cultivation" - characteristic of authentic purple clay.

Artisans employ traditional slab-forming techniques, hand-assembling body, spout, and handle from evenly beaten clay slabs. The 45-degree angled spout features uniform drainage holes for graceful water arching. Ergonomic handle curvature ensures comfortable grip during prolonged use.

For tea enthusiasts, it enhances brewing experience while connecting users to centuries-old Chinese artistry.
