  • Clay

    Raw Red Clay (生砂朱泥, Shengsha Zhuni) is a type of Zisha clay that has not been subjected to any additional processing or firing, giving it a natural, earthy appearance and a slightly rough texture. The clay is porous, which means that it absorbs some of the flavor of the tea, and this can help to improve the taste of the tea over time.
