"No fear of impure clay—only the finest raw ore from Huanglong Mountain is selected.

Aged 'Lao Zini' (Old Purple Clay) is a relatively common yet classic type of Zisha clay. While high-quality Lao Zini is rare, inferior grades are abundant. Exhibiting a purplish-brown hue, it is often referred to by enthusiasts as 'Black Purple Clay' and is one of the most widely accepted clays in the market. Rich in iron content, this clay contains larger particles and has a loose structure, resulting in a distinct double-pore formation in the ware. This allows excellent air circulation and breathability. With prolonged use, its hidden elegance gradually emerges, making it easy to cultivate and maintain. Over time, it undergoes remarkable transformation, developing a rich patina."
