【Local Taiwanese Seller, Full After-Sales Support】 【Each Piece Comes with a Certificate】 【Tian Qing Clay】 This clay was refined in 2007 and has been aged for 15 years. The clay has undergone aging of organic matter and re-firing to prevent mud cracking. This process lowers the firing temperature of the clay. The text in "Yang Xian Ming Hu Xi" (A Series of Yang Xian Teapots) describes Tian Qing Clay: "Tian Qing Clay, from Lishu (a place name east of Huanglong Mountain in Dingshu Town), turns a liver-like dark color when fired. It also contains inclusions. Infused with the spirit of the mountain, through firing and transformation, it reveals various wondrous colors. At Longshan Hall, we fire this clay three times in a push-plate kiln. The resulting color resembles pig liver. The flame circulation, heat convection, and exhaust within the push-plate kiln create localized micro-oxidation and micro-reduction, causing the clay to undergo more changes during firing. The final color will be lighter, retaining more distinct granular texture. These granules, not fully crystallized at high temperatures, develop richer layers on the surface. When light hits them, it scatters, creating a sense of depth. While initially less lustrous than pieces fired in electric kilns, with a surface that appears dry and understated, its abundance of micro-pores and granules allows for exceptional absorption of tea liquor during use. The components of the tea gradually seep in and deposit, forming a soft, mellow patina that speaks of age and care. The luster is a gentle, diffused reflection, exuding a texture built over time. 【Frequently Asked Questions】 1. How to prepare the teapot before first use? Clean the inside and outside thoroughly. 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 complete moisture evaporation from the pores, 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 long period of disuse, pour 40°C warm water over the inside and outside of the teapot, then fill it completely. This allows the porous clay to fully absorb moisture. 5. How to maintain teapots with carved designs? For teapots with carved elements, a soft brush is recommended for cleaning. 6. What if the item arrives damaged?
