Know before you buy
Mutton Fat Jade Porcelain is a high-quality ceramic from Dehua, China, prized for its dense, smooth texture and warm, milky appearance. It is distinct from standard porcelain due to its refined composition, which gives it a unique matte finish and superior thermal properties.
Not at all. Despite the matte appearance, the material is completely non-porous and features a hydrophobic surface. This prevents tea stains from absorbing into the cup, allowing you to rinse it clean with minimal effort.
The bell shape is designed to concentrate the aroma of the tea, directing the fragrance toward your nose as you sip. It also provides a comfortable, ergonomic grip that fits naturally in the hand during a tea ceremony.
While the cup is elegant enough for formal tea ceremonies, its durable construction makes it perfectly suitable for daily use. The non-porous material is resistant to wear, ensuring it maintains its aesthetic appeal even with frequent handling.
Because the porcelain is non-porous, it is completely neutral and will not absorb or retain the flavors of previous brews. This makes it an excellent choice if you enjoy drinking a variety of different tea types in the same cup.
