Know before you buy
Mutton Fat Jade Porcelain is a high-quality ceramic from Dehua, China, known for its dense, smooth texture that mimics the appearance of fine jade. It is prized for its durability and clean, white aesthetic.
The hydrophobic exterior is designed to repel water, which helps prevent staining and makes the cup easier to clean. It also provides a unique, soft-touch matte texture that is pleasant to hold.
Yes, because the material is non-porous, it will not absorb the flavors or aromas of the teas you brew. This makes it an excellent choice if you enjoy switching between different types of tea, as the cup remains neutral.
The cup has a capacity of 65ml, with a slight variance of plus or minus 5ml due to the hand-finished nature of the production process. It is sized perfectly for traditional gongfu-style tea sessions.
While the porcelain offers excellent heat retention to keep your tea warm, the thickness of the cup is designed to balance thermal efficiency with comfort. However, as with any ceramic cup, use caution when serving boiling water.
