Know before you buy
Fujian clay is porous, which allows it to absorb subtle oils and minerals from the tea over time. This process can help soften the mouthfeel and enhance the aromatic profile of Wuyi rock teas, black teas, and white teas.
These cups are durable enough for daily use, though they are specifically designed to elevate the Gongfu tea ceremony. Because the clay is porous, it is best to dedicate these cups to a specific type of tea to prevent flavor cross-contamination.
Rinse the cups with hot water immediately after use. Avoid using dish soap or abrasive sponges, as the porous clay can absorb chemical residues that may alter the taste of your future brews.
Yes, 50 ml is a traditional size for Gongfu-style tea service. This smaller capacity is intended for multiple short infusions, allowing you to appreciate the evolving flavor notes of high-quality loose-leaf teas.
Yes, over time, the clay will develop a 'patina' from the tea oils. This is considered a desirable trait in traditional tea culture, as it reflects the history of the teas you have enjoyed in the cups.
