[Lotus Rhyme] Yan Huang Earth Art Fat Boss Long Shan Tang Traditional Handmade Celadon Clay 60 Mesh 180cc

【Local Taiwanese Shop with Comprehensive After-Sales Service】 【Each Piece Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity】 【Azure Green Clay】 This clay was refined in 2007 and has been aged for 15 years. The clay has undergone organic aging and re-firing to prevent impurity bloom, which lowers its firing temperature. The text in "Yang Xian Ming Hu Xi" (A Record of Teapots from Yangxian) describes Azure Green Clay: "Azure Green Clay, originating from Lixu (a place name east of Huanglong Mountain in Dingshu Town), turns liver-colored when fired. It can also contain inclusions. When worked by the mountain spirit and fired, it reveals all sorts of wondrous variations. Our Longshan Tang has fired this batch three times in a muffle kiln, resulting in a liver-like hue. The flame circulation, heat convection, and exhaust within the muffle kiln create localized micro-oxidation and micro-reduction. This process leads to more transformative changes in the clay during firing. The final color will be lighter, retaining a more pronounced granular texture. These granules, not fully crystallized at high temperatures, present a richer surface texture. When light hits them, it scatters, creating a sense of depth. Although initially less brilliant than pieces fired in electric kilns, with a drier, simpler surface, its ability to absorb tea liquor during use is remarkable due to the retention of micro-pores and granules. The tea's essence will gradually permeate and settle, forming a soft, mellow patina imbued with the character of aged use. The sheen is a gentle, diffuse reflection, conveying a texture enriched by time. 【Frequently Asked Questions】 1. How to prepare the teapot before first use? Rinse thoroughly inside and out. A dish sponge is recommended; avoid chemical cleaners. Simply rinse with water, and it's ready for use. 2. How to care for the teapot? After each use, keep it clean and dry to prevent tea stains. Store it in a well-ventilated area. For long-term storage in its box, allow it to air dry naturally for 1-2 months to ensure the pores fully release moisture, preventing mold. 3. How to clean tea stains or mold? Soak with an enzyme cleaner. 4. How to properly warm the teapot? In cold weather or after a period of disuse, pour 40°C warm water over the inside and outside of the teapot, then fill it completely. This allows the zisha clay pores to absorb moisture. 5. How to maintain teapots with engravings? For teapots with engravings, a soft brush is recommended for cleaning. 6. What if the item is damaged during shipping?
