This Yixing teapot named "Lotus Platform" is crafted from aged dark green duan clay sourced from No.4 Mine in Huanglong Mountain mining area of Yixing, China - a crucial origin of zisha clay materials. This specially aged clay develops exceptional density and smoothness over years of maturation. When brewing tea, it effectively preserves tea aromas while gradually developing natural patina through prolonged use.
