The Purion clay mug Lin's Ceramics Studio is made of a special type of clay that is very porous, perfect for tasting roasted Puer and Oolong teas.
This mug is larger than those normally used during the Chinese tea ceremony, it has a capacity of 370 ml. We recommend using the Purion clay mug always with the same type of tea, as the Purion clay absorbs the aroma and flavor of the tea.
This accessory was handmade in Taiwan, by a team of artisans experienced in creating high quality tea accessories.
Maintenance of the Purion Clay
Before use, steep the cup in a bowl of hot water for one hour.
Care: hand wash only with hot water and scrub gently without soap (Purion clay is semi-porous and is designed to saturate with the essence of tea). Do not use in microwave.
Use the cup for only one type of tea (such as oolong, red or puer). In fact, purion clay absorbs the smell of tea, and if you use different types of tea, it might absorb too many flavors and you will not fully enjoy the tasting.
