Original Ore Duan Ni Clay (Premium Satin Clay) from Huanglong Mountain

Craftsmanship:  Handmade & Pottery Carving

Capacity: 200ml

Artist: Master Dong Yaqin (Certified Arts & Crafts Master)

✨ Perfect Tea Pairings:

White Tea (especially Aged White Tea or Silver Needle): Duan Ni releases the elegant, sweet notes of white tea beautifully without cooking the delicate buds.

Light/Floral Oolongs: Think Tie Guan Yin or High Mountain Oolongs. It elevates the vibrant floral "qi" and leaves a crisp, refreshing finish.

Young Sheng Pu-erh: It gently rounds off the sharp, astringent edges of young raw Pu-erh, making the soup much smoother and sweeter.

💡 Pro-Tip for Seasoning (How to Care):

One Pot, One Tea Type: Dedicate your pot to a single tea category to keep the flavors pure.

Start with Light Teas: Use light-colored teas for the first few months. Once the pot develops a baseline protective "patina" (oil barrier), it becomes much more resilient!

Keep it Pristine: Never leave tea leaves inside overnight. Rinse thoroughly with warm water after each use and leave the lid off to air dry.

⚠️ Teas to Avoid:

Dark Teas (Shou Pu-erh, Black Tea, Heavy-Roast Rock Teas): Because Duan Ni is light in color and highly porous, dark tea liquors can easily cause "spotting" or uneven darkening  if the pot isn't cleaned meticulously.
