Know before you buy
This set is designed for comparative tea evaluation, often called 'gongfu' style tea tasting. The brewing mug allows you to steep the leaves, while the larger cup serves as a vessel to pour, cool, and evaluate the liquor's color, aroma, and flavor profile.
White porcelain is the industry standard for professional tea evaluation because it is non-porous and neutral. It does not retain flavors from previous sessions, and its stark white surface allows you to accurately judge the clarity and true color of the tea liquor.
Yes, high-quality porcelain has excellent heat retention properties, which helps maintain a consistent temperature during the brewing process. This is essential for extracting the full range of notes from delicate teas like oolongs or green teas.
While it is designed for formal comparative analysis, the set is perfectly suitable for daily use. Its durable construction and elegant aesthetic make it a functional and beautiful choice for anyone who wants to slow down and appreciate the nuances of their tea.
While the high-quality porcelain is durable, we recommend hand-washing the set with mild soap. This prevents the risk of chipping in the dishwasher and ensures that no residual detergent scents interfere with the delicate aroma of your tea.
