However, there's another type with a rarer mineral content and a more pronounced sandy texture: Huanglongshan Vermilion Clay. Its characteristic is that the longer it's used and seasoned, the richer and more distinct the surface texture becomes, achieving a jade-like patina similar to Benshan Green Clay. The flavor transformation of the tea brewed with this clay is also distinct from vermilion clays from the other two regions. 【Frequently Asked Questions QA】 1.
