- Origin：
清水泥 （Qing Shui Ni), called Pure Mud/ Clear Water Clay. It's quite unique in purple sand mud. It is not the name of a single type of purple clay ore, but a traditional process of refining purple sand cooked mud by unit mines. It means that a single purple clay raw ore is refined according to the process. First, the raw ore is ground into the required cooked mud mesh, and then the purple clay ore is refined into mature mud by vacuum. During the whole process of refining the mud, except for adding water, no chemical coloring is added. Elixir and other purple clay mud maintain the original color of the unit mine.
For example: the Purple Clay of Bottom Layer introduced in our other blog can be called "Pure Mud", because that material belongs to the No. 1 mud material that does not need to be blended. And the Purple Clay of Bottom Layer can be called "Pure Mud" , but "Pure Mud" is not necessarily Purple Clay of Bottom Layer , can be the other kind of pur mud.

It is easy to use, has a good affinity, and the temperature is easy to control. It can be easily brewed and brewed for a day After a long time, it becomes more ruddy and simple, ancient and dignified.

- Good airtightness: Pure Mud purple clay teapot has a precise pot-making process. The made purple sand teapot has a tight lid and very few gaps, which can effectively reduce the flow of moldy air into the teapot and prolong the deterioration time of tea.
- Preserve tea aroma: When brewing Pu-erh tea in a Pure Mud purple clay teapot, it can make the tea taste more mellow. Because the teapot can absorb the aroma of tea leaves, if you use a purple clay teapot that is often used to make tea occasionally without tea leaves, the pure water in the pot will also have a faint fragrance of tea leaves.
- Easy to wash: it can be washed and dried in flowing water. If you don't use it all year round, you can also soak it in boiling water for 2 to 3 times, then pour out the warm water, and make the tea again without leaving the smell of tea stains.
- The body of the pot is resistant to cold and heat: the Pure Mud purple clay teapot has a strong change in cold and heat. It can be stewed on a warm fire or heated in a microwave oven. Neither method will cause the body of the pot to burst.
- Excellent heat preservation performance: the clay used in the Pure Mud purple clay teapot is exquisite, the heat transfer is slow, and there is no hot feeling when using it.

- Ps: Pure Purple Mud has a lot of reserves in Huanglong Mountain and its surrounding areas. Although its practice method is the most common mud refining technique, Pure Mud is by no means an ordinary mud material, because of its unique plasticity and stability. Well, the temperature resistance is not special, and the yield is high, so Puer Purple Clay is especially popular among contemporary craftsmen. Especially today, when Huanglong Mountain has stopped mining for more than ten years, if you can buy the mud from the original mine of this mountain with a relatively low cost, then the first choice must be Pure Clay.
