2. Clay: Hei Jin Sha (black golden sand)

• A distinctive zisha clay of a deep, mysterious black, flecked with tiny mineral grains that glitter like stars (jin sha, golden sand).

• Properties: A dense, firm clay, highly durable and excellent at holding heat. The surface is slightly matte to the touch, rustic in feel yet thoroughly refined.

• Advantages: Hei Jin Sha absorbs off-notes in the water, bringing out the tea's true flavour and its deep sweetness.

3. Capacity: 190ml

• A standard size, extremely versatile and widely used.

• Suited to tea sessions for 2 to 4 people.

• This capacity keeps the water temperature steady, so the tea neither turns harsh nor cools too quickly.

4. Filter: honeycomb filter

• A hemispherical design with dozens of small filter holes, each meticulously drilled by hand inside the spout.

• Standout advantages: The large filtering surface gives a very strong flow, an even, round pour and no clogging from spent leaf whatsoever.

• This is the most advanced filter technology there is, keeping the tea perfectly clear as it pours into the cup.
