Clay Description

Dragon Blood Sand Clay (龙血砂) is a highly mineral-rich Yixing clay prized for its distinctive texture and deep red coloration after firing. Produced through extensive refining, shaping, and high-temperature firing, it develops a unique mineral character and excellent brewing properties. Rich in natural mineral particles, the clay offers strong heat retention while maintaining good breathability. Over time, regular use enhances the surface luster and patina, giving each teapot a unique character. Its balanced performance makes it suitable for a wide range of teas, from delicate green and white teas to robust oolong, black tea, pu-erh, and dark teas.
