Know before you buy
No. Because of the artisanal glazing process, every cup features unique variations in color intensity and glaze thickness. You should expect your cup to have its own individual character that differs slightly from the images.
Yes, 110ml (approximately 3.72 oz) is a standard size for traditional gongfu tea brewing. It is designed for savoring concentrated infusions rather than large-volume mugs of tea.
This cup is finished with a glaze, which creates a non-porous surface. Unlike unglazed Yixing clay, this cup will not absorb the flavors of your tea, making it versatile for switching between different types of infusions.
While the glazed clay is durable, we recommend hand-washing to preserve the integrity of the artisanal finish. We advise against using it in the microwave to avoid potential thermal shock to the clay.
The cup arrives in a plush-lined gift box designed to cushion the piece during storage or transport. It provides a secure, padded environment that keeps the cup safe from chips or scratches.
