Expertly crafted from premium, natural Duanni Zisha clay. The clay possesses a rich, beautiful texture with a subtle grain that grows increasingly warm and lustrous with dedicated seasoning (Pao Yang). Its unique dual-porosity structure provides excellent breathability, allowing the tea liquor to "breathe" properly and develop a smoother, more mellow character.

🫖Recommended Teas:
Well-suited for teas that benefit from thorough oxidation and yield a rich, full-bodied liquor. It pairs beautifully with ripe Pu-erh, aged white tea, and dark tea (Heicha), effectively unlocking the tea's deep qualities while softening and smoothing the texture of the brew.
