源自丁蜀的徒手捏塑工艺

Michael Zhan 于 2024 年底在丁蜀主街旁的一条窄巷中结识了那位制作师傅。工作坊是一间单人房,里面有一台小脚踏辘轳、陈放熟泥的层架,以及一张炕桌,上面摆放着慢慢阴干的成品茶宠。这只青蛙出自一批十二件的作品,每件都是手工塑形 — 师傅将一小团深色紫砂泥放在拇指与食指间捏压,一气呵成地捏出腿部和腹部,再以竹篾勾勒出眼睛和嘴巴。没有模具,没有注浆。陶土与宜兴壶使用的紫砂同源,取自黄龙山附近的矿场,但烧制温度较低(约900°C),使得表面微带孔隙,能尽情啜饮茶汤。Michael 为我们的店铺挑选了色泽最深的作品 — 那些故意过烧以呈现炭黑色调的。青蛙是经典的茶宠主题:中文里「蛙」(wā)与「发」(财富)谐音,而盘上的青蛙也能招来雨水(与财运)。我们的货源完全透明:每只青蛙都附有一张小卡,标明师傅的印记及泥料批量。在茶盘的对角摆上两只 — 它们会一同老去,从同一壶茶中养出略有不同的包浆。

The leaf, brewed

A frog that ages with your tea sessions

dry leaf

Smooth, grainy dark clay — deep charcoal grey with subtle black speckles. Feels dense and cool in the hand.

wet leaf

After a pour, the surface deepens to a warm wet-charcoal, revealing fine texture as tea adheres.

liquor

No liquid — watch the tea pool on its back, catch the light, and gently run down.

aroma

Faint earthy scent of fired clay, sometimes carrying a hint of steamed tea from the hot rinse.

taste

Not for tasting — the frog is a companion that absorbs the scent of your pu-erh and oolongs.

finish

Over months, the clay develops a rich, glossy patina from tea oils — each pour adds a layer of memory.

Brewing

A method, not a recipe.

Method
gongfu
Ratio
no water ratio — place frog on tray
Water temp
no temperature — use your steeped tea (any temperature)
First infusion
immediately after pouring the first steep over the pet
Subsequent
Every infusion, feed the frog with tea. Rotate its position weekly for even patina.

放在茶盘上,避免阳光直射;偶尔用温水(不要用肥皂)擦拭以去除灰尘。
