Know before you buy
The semi-porous nature of the aged clay helps to soften the water and reduce the astringency of high-tannin teas. This results in a smoother, more balanced cup compared to brewing in standard glass or porcelain.
Yes, the fair cup is crafted from heat-resistant glass designed to withstand the temperatures required for steeping tea. It is intended for regular use, though it should be handled with the same care as any fine glassware.
Inspired by Han Dynasty roof tiles, the Han-Wa silhouette provides a wide opening at the top. This design makes it significantly easier to add loose-leaf tea, monitor leaf expansion, and clean the interior after use.
Because aged clay is porous, it can absorb the oils and aromas of the tea brewed within it. It is recommended to dedicate this teapot to one specific category of tea, such as oolong or black tea, to avoid flavor interference.
Rinse the clay teapot and cups with hot water immediately after use and allow them to air dry completely. Avoid using soap or detergents, as the porous clay can absorb these chemicals and affect the flavor of your future brews.
The floral motif is hand-applied using traditional cobalt pigments and fired into the clay. With proper care and gentle hand-washing, the design will remain vibrant and intact for years.
