Hand-painted large chrysanthemum motif: The flower on this set is the large-bloom chrysanthemum, stylised in a rustic, antique manner. In tea culture the chrysanthemum stands for nobility of spirit and longevity, and brings a feeling of inner calm. Every stroke is applied by hand by the artisan, making each piece unique and giving it depth.
Classic deep blue: The deep blue tone sits in harmony with the ivory-white ceramic body, giving a composed, refined look that neither picks up stains nor fades with use.
Premium porcelain: The porcelain is of moderate thickness, withstands and retains heat well, and above all does not affect the original taste and aroma of any tea — from green tea and oolong through to pu-erh.
Smart all-in-one nesting design: The set makes the most of the space by stacking neatly together. The tea cup acts as an outer shell and holds the gaiwan snugly inside, saving as much room as possible when you travel.
Dedicated padded fabric pouch: The set comes with a sturdy thick fabric pouch with a strong drawstring and an elegant woven brocade pattern. The pouch not only holds the pieces in shape but also has a soft lining that protects the porcelain from knocks and scratches when you put it in a backpack, suitcase or handbag.
At home in any setting: This is the perfect solution for the "tea drinker on the move" — easy to take on holiday, on a picnic, on a business trip, to the office, or simply to enjoy tea on your own at home without setting out a full-size tea table.
100 ml gaiwan — the gold standard: A capacity of 100 ml is the perfect size for controlling steeping time and keeping the water temperature stable. It lets you enjoy the full, delicate taste and aroma of the tea through every infusion without the leaves steeping too long and turning bitter and astringent.
120 ml tea cup (host cup) — comfortable and well proportioned: The cup holds slightly more than the gaiwan (120 ml), so it takes all the tea poured from the gaiwan without any risk of overflowing, while sitting comfortably and securely in the hand as you drink.
