Authentic Duan Ni Clay - Premium Yixing Material

Crafted from authentic original-mine Duan Ni clay (原矿段泥), one of the most prized Yixing clay types. Duan Ni, meaning "segment clay," is known for its light color, fine texture, and excellent breathability. This premium clay enhances tea flavor and develops a beautiful patina over time with proper seasoning.

Traditional Wood-Firing Process

Fired using the ancient wood-firing technique (古法柴烧), which creates unique natural effects and enhances the clay's properties. Wood-firing produces subtle color variations and a distinctive character that cannot be replicated by modern electric kilns. This traditional method honors centuries of Yixing pottery heritage.

Hand-Painted Silk Road Design

Features an exquisite hand-painted Silk Road design (泥绘丝绸之路), depicting the historic trade route that connected East and West. The intricate artwork is applied using clay slip painting technique, creating a design that is both beautiful and durable. Each brushstroke tells a story of cultural exchange and ancient commerce.
