【Local Taiwanese Shop with Comprehensive After-Sales Support】 【Each Piece Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity】 【Tian Qing 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 flaws, which lowers its firing temperature. The classic text "Yang Xian Ming Hu Xi" describes Tian Qing Clay: "Tian Qing Clay, from Lishu (a place name east of Huanglong Mountain in Dingshu Town), turns a dark liver color when fired. It also contains inclusions. Infused with the spirit of the mountain, it transforms through firing, revealing various dazzling effects. Firing Temperature: 1160°C~1250°C, Shrinkage Rate: 18% Named for its bluish-cyan mineral hue, it is a supreme purple clay whose layers are most stably presented with the precise temperature control of electric kilns. It is characterized by its significant sandy texture and high mica content. When fired at high temperatures in an electric kiln, the surface of the teapot reveals a deep, serene purplish-blue tone. After seasoning, it develops a fine, warm luster akin to black jade. It enhances the tea infusion by mellowing dryness and preserving fragrance, offering excellent water softening and aroma-gathering effects. 【Frequently Asked Questions】 1.
