Material: The clay comes directly from weathered Huanglongshan ore, known for its jade-like texture and auction-level rarity. The natural speckled black grains you see are characteristic of this genuine ore, giving the pot a subtle, living surface.
Color & Texture: A soft yellow-green tone, smooth yet slightly sandy to the touch, with dark speckles naturally embedded—showing the purity of the raw mineral.
Shape: The body is round and well-balanced with a short spout and sturdy handle, a traditional form that emphasizes harmony and simplicity.
Function: This kind of green clay teapot is praised for its excellent breathability and gentle influence on tea flavor, particularly suitable for lighter oolongs, green teas, or fragrant young sheng puerh. It allows the tea to shine without overpowering it.
Aesthetic: The overall look is understated elegance—modest in form, yet its rare clay and natural markings make it highly prized among collectors.
