[Mogu Series] [Local Taiwanese Shop with Full After-Sales Service] [Each Piece Comes with a Certificate] [Xiao Mei Yao Old Zhu Ni Clay] Aged for 30 years, the clay is refined using ancient methods, unpolished rim. Fired at 1160 °C, with a shrinkage rate of 20%. The term "Xiao Mei Yao" refers to a place name approximately 5000 meters from Huanglong Mountain, not that the teapot was fired in a small coal kiln. Because there were several small kilns for firing bricks, tiles, and pottery in that area in the past, it gradually became known as "Xiao Mei Yao." Xiao Mei Yao Zhu Ni clay is rich in oil and has a smooth texture, making it very sticky and difficult to work with and fire. It has a high shrinkage rate during forming, drying, and firing, and is fired at a lower temperature, making it prone to warping, deformation, and cracking. After firing, the pieces transform from orange-red to dark red, appearing warm, lustrous, and producing excellent water color when brewing tea. Pouring hot water over it instantly reveals a delicate red hue, both mysterious and captivating. When used for brewing, the tea liquor is bright and lively, releasing fragrance and gathering sweetness. With prolonged use, the color deepens to a mature red, becoming warm and profound, exuding a strong sense of affinity. [Frequently Asked Questions QA] 1. How to prepare the teapot before use?
