Lao Duanni (老段泥) is a specific type of Yixing clay that is prized for its rich, earthy texture and natural coloring. The term "Lao" means "aged" in Chinese, indicating that this clay has been aged and is of high quality. "Duanni" refers to the yellowish-brown hue of the clay, which can range from light beige to a deeper, more robust brown. Lao Duanni teapots have excellent heat retention properties. They keep the tea warm for longer periods, ensuring a more enjoyable drinking experience.
