【Characteristics of the Clay】

Coal-fired Tricolor Da Hong Pao clay is a precious type of Yixing purple clay. After being fired in a coal kiln, it exhibits a unique tricolor effect, with a deep and layered color. The clay is fine-textured, dense, and has tiny pores, resulting in not only rich colors but also excellent patina for nurturing teapots. Its luster is warm and classic, embodying the millennia-old culture of purple clay.

【Usage Recommendations】

The clay used in Da Hong Pao tea has excellent heat retention properties, making it particularly suitable for brewing teas that require high temperatures, such as black tea, ripe Pu-erh tea, and rock tea. Its compact 170cc capacity is perfect for 1-2 people, allowing for precise control of the tea's concentration and fully showcasing its aroma and flavor.

Tips for nurturing your teapot: Before use, boil the teapot in clean water to season it. After each use, rinse it with clean water and let it air dry naturally. By consistently using the same type of tea to nurture the teapot, a warm patina will gradually form on the surface over time, further showcasing the beauty of the Zisha clay.
