💡 Care & Maintenance

• First-Time Preparation: Rinse with clean water. Simmering the cup in a pot of water for 5–10 minutes is recommended to “awaken” the ceramic and stabilize the glaze.

• Daily Care: Simply rinse with warm water and wipe dry with a soft, clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemical detergents or abrasive steel wool.

• The Art of Aging: Consistent use allows the tea oils to interact with the iron-rich clay, gradually developing a deep, unique “patina” (known as Yang Zhan) that makes the cup more beautiful over time.

• Safety Note: Keep away from dishwashers and microwaves. Avoid sudden, drastic thermal shocks to protect the integrity of the hand-carved details.
