[Imitation Series] [Local Taiwanese Shop with Comprehensive After-Sales Service] [Each Piece Comes with a Certificate] [Xiao Mei Yao Old Zhu Ni Clay] Aged for 30 years, refined using ancient methods, unpolished rim. Fired at 1160°C with a 20% shrinkage rate. Xiao Mei Yao refers to a place approximately 5000 meters from Huang Long Mountain, not the firing method used for the teapot. As several small kilns for firing bricks, tiles, and pottery once existed in the area, it became known as "Xiao Mei Yao." Xiao Mei Yao Zhu Ni clay is rich in oils, feels smooth, and is highly adhesive, making it challenging to work with and fire. It experiences significant shrinkage during forming, drying, and firing, with a lower firing temperature, making it prone to warping, deformation, and cracking. After firing, the pieces transform from orange-red to a deep red, appearing warm, lustrous, and yielding a beautiful tea liquor. When hot water is poured over it, it instantly reveals a delicate red hue, both mysterious and enchanting. Brewing tea with this clay produces a bright and lively infusion, enhancing aroma and sweetness. With prolonged use, the color deepens to a rosy red, becoming warm, profound, and remarkably inviting.
