Know before you buy
This refers to a specific aesthetic finish characteristic of high-quality Jingdezhen porcelain. It mimics the warm, creamy, and slightly translucent appearance of mutton fat jade, giving the strainer a smooth, tactile feel and a soft glow when held up to the light.
The strainer features an extra-fine mesh designed to catch small tea particles and dust. It is highly effective for filtering fine-leaf teas, such as broken-leaf black teas or smaller oolongs, ensuring a clear, sediment-free infusion.
Because it is crafted from dense, high-quality porcelain, the body of the strainer will absorb heat from the tea. While it is safe to handle, we recommend holding it by the rim or using the included stand to move it after pouring.
Yes, the stand is specifically designed to fit the strainer's dimensions. It provides a stable, integrated resting place that keeps your tea table clean and prevents drips after you have finished decanting your tea.
We recommend rinsing the strainer with warm water immediately after use to prevent tea stains from setting. For a deeper clean, you can use a soft sponge with mild dish soap, but avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the porcelain finish.
