Handmade Dehua Porcelain Teacup
These teacups are made from Dehua porcelain, which gives them their characteristic bone-white lustre. They are slightly translucent at the sides, allowing the colour of the tea inside to shine through in the right lighting.
Each cup is handmade by an artist in Taiwan, so there is very minor variance from cup to cup, but they are designed to be bought in multiples to form a set. We have a large amount of cups available. They are a joy to drink from and suit all types of tea.
Each cup can hold approximately 30ml of brewed tea, 50ml capacity right to the brim.
Approximately 5x5cm dimensions.

We recommend approx 1g of tea per 15ml of water for Gongfu-style brewing in a teapot or gaiwan. Rinse the leaves once and then brew several times until there is no flavour left.
For Western-style brewing in a larger teapot, use approx. 5g per 100ml of water. You can re-brew the leaves a few times.
To brew direct in a mug, use 1-2g of tea in the bottom of the cup, fill with boiling water, and drink once cool. Re-fill the cup with more water when you've drunk 1/3rd of the tea. Repeat until there is no more flavour left.
All of our teas are suitable for long-term storage and aging.
Keep your tea away from sunlight and strong smells, and somewhere with stable climate conditions.
You can keep it sealed inside the re-usable bag the tea comes in, or another non-porous container.
