Know before you buy
Fujian clay is porous, which allows it to absorb subtle oils and minerals from your tea over time. This process can soften the mouthfeel and enhance the aromatic profile of delicate teas like Wuyi rock or white teas.
Yes, it is designed for daily tea rituals. However, because the clay is porous, it is best to dedicate this cup to a single type of tea to prevent flavor cross-contamination.
Rinse the cup with hot water immediately after use. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous clay will absorb the chemicals and alter the taste of your future brews.
Yes, 80 ml is a standard size for gongfu-style tea brewing. It is designed for multiple short infusions, allowing you to appreciate the evolving flavor profile of high-quality loose-leaf teas.
The design is primarily aesthetic and does not significantly impact heat retention. The clay itself provides moderate heat insulation, keeping your tea warm while remaining comfortable to hold.
