Pure Ore – Ming Dynasty vein, unblended crimson clay with gold flecks

Triple-Fired – 1180°C "glazed red" with pomegranate hue shift

Living Texture – Dragon-scale surface, dual-pore matrix

Fast Patina – 7-day amber glow, evolves to rouge-silk finish

Tea Alchemist –  Unlocks "mineral resonance" in rock oolongs. 

Enhances ripe pu-erh with a "rice-broth" velvety texture.

Note: Slight color variations occur due to handmade firing—each teapot tells its own story.
