Know before you buy
Mutton Fat Jade is a traditional term used to describe high-quality Dehua porcelain that possesses a warm, creamy, and translucent appearance similar to fine nephrite jade. It is prized for its smooth, tactile quality and subtle glow when held up to the light.
The Ice Jade process results in a thinner-walled, more transparent material compared to traditional opaque porcelain. This allows the natural color of your tea to show through the sides of the cup, providing a visual element to your tasting experience.
Not at all. The surface is completely non-porous and hydrophobic, meaning it naturally repels water and oils. It resists staining and is very easy to rinse clean after use.
While the cup is thin-walled, the porcelain material itself offers excellent heat retention. Because of the flared rim design, you have a comfortable place to hold the cup that stays cooler than the body, making it easy to handle even with hot tea.
Each cup has a capacity of 50ml, which is a standard size for traditional gongfu tea brewing. It is designed for small, frequent servings rather than a large volume of liquid.
