The Purion clay cup Lin’s Ceramics Studio is made of a very porous type of clay, perfect for tasting roasted Puer and Oolong teas.
This cup is larger than those normally used during the Chinese tea ceremony and has a capacity of 370 ml. We recommend that you always use the Purion clay cup with the same type of tea, as the Purion clay absorbs the aroma and flavour of the tea.
This accessory has been handmade in Taiwan, by a team of artisans experienced in creating high quality tea accessories.
Purion Clay maintenance
Before use, steep the cup in a bowl of hot water for one hour.
Care: hand wash only with warm water and rub 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 the tea and, if you use different types of tea, it may absorb too many flavours and you may not fully enjoy the tasting.
