The characteristics of ore rock ceramics cup

Ore rock ceramic cups are made of natural rock and ore in the Huadong area of Taiwan, combined with clay in the Tainan area. After years of researching and experimenting in a kiln oven constantly with multiple high-temperature redoxes, it was eventually discovered that its melting point can reach 1260-1285 degrees Celsius. Surprisingly, it is an effect that ordinary pottery pots and Xuanxing pots cannot achieve (pottery pots can mostly withstand 1200-1230 degrees and Xuanxing pots 800-1210 degrees.). A large amount of carbon, silicon, potassium, sodium and iron in the cup adobe produces eutectic phenomena, which makes the soil tire texture harder. Its multi-functionality combines the features of Zisha pot and Maifan stone.

After the ore rock ceramic cups are fired in a kiln oven, the surface of pottery clay emerges a smooth colour. After processing, it generates a similar simple stone such as old stains. Or like the remnant star after the fire is made of coral, and it will have an ever-changing texture when it encounters water. Or like the mottled feeling of coral, it produces primitive, natural roughness and simplicity, and produces an amazing and irresistible kiln transformation.

The ore rock ceramic cups have the effect of softening the water quality of the medical stone, as well as the characteristics of multiple quartz and mica soil tires. Maintaining the crystalline state under the high temperature makes the clay present [sponge pores], which is conducive to retaining and lasting tea fragrance and the special feeling obtained when drinking tea. In addition, after long-term use, the appearance of the cup will be more rounded and bright.

Ore rock ceramic cups are handmade, and therefore, each product’s form and colour are unique. If there are significant concave holes inside the ore rock ceramic cup, it is caused by the larger particles of carbon contained in the pottery. This is because the cavity left after the high-temperature firing and the disappearance of the carbon is a normal phenomenon.

The ore rock ceramic cups have passed the SGS test, and it does not contain any substances such as toxic or heavy metals, thus it is undoubtedly safe.

The features of ore rock ceramic cups

The medical stone structure and activated carbon of ore rock ceramic cups can soften the water and make the tea effectively release the main components, such as amino acids and carbohydrates. Using this cup to brew tea is sweeter and the aroma of the tea is pure and clear, which is suitable as a tea drinking material. Particularly, it is an appropriate cup to make Pu-erh Tea, Heavy Roasted Fire Tea, and Bitter Charcoal Tea.

When ore rock ceramic cups are used for drinking alcohol, pour the alcohol first and leave it for 10 minutes. After the interaction of the characteristics of [sponge pores] and the water quality of the medical stone, the alcohol in the cup is smoother, which feels like the year of the alcohol product suddenly increased by 5-10 years.

The series of ore rock ceramic cups are not only used for drinking tea or alcohol but also for water and coffee as the material can soften liquid and oscillations make liquid molecules smaller.

The use and maintenance of ore rock ceramic cups

The original material of ore rock ceramic cups is clay and rock, which is essentially the preservation of the characteristics of pottery utensils. During storage and before use, the pores will accumulate some airborne impurities such as dust or tiny objects that are not easy to see. After the hot water is poured in, due to the thermal expansion and contraction of the pores, fine air bubbles will begin to form on the water’s surface.

This is because the properties of the medical stone to soften water quality will begin to produce water quality oscillations, which causes fine air bubbles to be discharged through the pores (this phenomenon will be more obvious when pouring beer: it particularly generates more bubbles). Those tiny objects ran out of the air holes and floated on the water. After a while, the tiny objects accumulate and look like a transparent, thin layer of oil floating on the water.

Therefore, please rinse several times with hot water before use. It is recommended not to mix multiple teas or beverages in the same appliance, especially alcohol or coffee.
