黃金段泥在段泥系列中獨樹一幟，以其細膩綿密的泥料質感和豐富的礦物質含量脫穎而出。 其金黃色的色澤，宛如老黃金般璀璨奪目。 仔細觀察，還會發現其中點綴著細小的黑色顆粒，這些是赤鐵礦的小糰粒，經過燒制後自然形成了這種別具一格的黑色紋理。

常言道：“真金不怕火煉，好泥不怕高溫。”其細膩綿密的質地，在高溫燒制下更顯珍貴。

特高溫，即高於常規窑燒溫度的燒制方法，是檢驗泥料品質的關鍵。 劣質泥料或外山料無法承受這樣的高溫煆燒。 若非正宗的原礦泥料，經過特高溫燒制後，其形態與品質會明顯受損。

Golden Duan clay stands out among the Duan clay series, distinguished by its fine, dense texture and rich mineral content. Its golden hue is as dazzling and eye-catching as aged gold. Close inspection reveals tiny black particles dotted throughout. These are tiny particles of hematite, which naturally form this distinctive black texture through firing.

As the saying goes, "True gold fears no fire, and good clay fears no heat." Its fine, dense texture is further enhanced by high-temperature firing.

Ultra-high-temperature firing, meaning firing temperatures exceeding those of conventional kilns, is crucial for evaluating clay quality. Low-quality clay or foreign clay cannot withstand such high-temperature firing. If the clay is not authentic, its shape and quality will be significantly damaged after being fired at such high temperatures.

【開壺】：由於製作過程中的原因,新壺內可能殘留有加工產生的灰塵或者石英粉末等污染物，需要清除乾淨後才可供飲用。首先把茶壺放在水裏清洗乾淨，用開水多次沖淋。然後用較多的茶葉放在壺中並加入開水，靜置一段時間。最後把紫砂壺洗淨擦幹便可。

 【使用前先溫壺】：先注入40-50度的水，拿起壺，晃一下，使壺體均勻的受熱，這樣壺暖了，把水倒了，再注入沸水，再晃動一下，再倒掉。這一過程，是讓壺體均勻的受熱和可以順便清洗和消毒壺體。

 【選茶定壺】：每種茶對應的壺不同，選對壺才能泡好茶。一茶侍一壺。一壺侍一茶具有三大優點，一是不易串味，能增加茶香，並保持茶湯的醇厚度;二是長期泡一種茶，茶壺會更加細膩;三是能增加生活的儀式感。

 【定期清理】：茶渣殘留會形成茶垢，會影響沖泡出來的茶的口感。正確清洗與精心保養紫砂壺是一門學問，關乎其使用壽命、品茗體驗，乃至紫砂壺自身的人文價值。

 【人為養護】：以茶湯滋養壺身，常擦拭，讓壺更顯溫潤。

 【避免化學清潔劑】：外壁茶垢必須用溫水擦拭的方法清洗，不能使用小蘇打或其他化學清洗劑，那會腐蝕壺面的包漿，損壞紫砂壺。

 【保存方法】：不泡茶時，倒放晾乾，避免潮濕；放置於通風透氣處，不要密封包裹；避免放在油煙重地或塵埃多的地方；
