The Mystic Nebula Wood-fired Tea Cup

A teacup that breathes, transforming tea and wine drinking into an enjoyable experience. This teacup is fired using traditional wood-fired techniques, without any chemical glazes. The flowing colors and metallic texture on its surface come entirely from the natural combination of ash and flames from burning wood. The tall, elegant design not only provides a comfortable and cool grip but also enhances the presence of the host at a tea or wine ceremony. The unique breathability and far-infrared effect of wood-fired ceramics effectively soften water, removing astringency from tea or harshness from strong liquor, resulting in a smoother, more mellow flavor. Why choose wood-fired ceramics? • Visual Feast: Rotating the cup under light reveals a rich, nebulous sheen. • Enhanced Taste: Wood-fired ceramics are hailed as "water softening wonders," essential tools for connoisseurs. • Absolutely Unique: No two pieces in the world bear the exact same fire marks; this is a one-of-a-kind piece.

With prolonged use, tea oil/wine aromas will nourish the cup, making its color more warm and lustrous (commonly known as patina). • Cleaning method: Simply rinse with water. Do not use dish soap (as the pores may absorb the detergent smell). • First use: It is recommended to boil or soak the cup briefly in boiling water to clean the pores and awaken the ceramic's natural properties.
