Durable Ceramic Gongfu Tea Cup Set

Six durable ceramic teacups engineered for longevity and faithful gongfu tea practice. Constructed from a single-origin stoneware clay body, fired above 1220°C to achieve vitrification — resulting in zero water absorption, high impact resistance, and stable thermal behaviour. Dimensions: 5.5 cm top diameter, 4 cm height, 45 ml capacity. Individual weight: 78–82 g; total set weight: 475–490 g. Ceramic composition delivers predictable thermal inertia: heats evenly in microwaves, cools gradually after pouring, and resists thermal fracture when transitioning between hot liquid and cool ambient air — a known failure mode in lower-fired ceramics. Glaze is lead-free, food-grade, and applied only to interior and upper exterior surfaces, leaving the base unglazed for kiln-stable stacking and grip security. The set serves dual roles: as a functional tool for disciplined tea preparation — supporting rinse, steep, smell, and taste phases — and as a quiet cultural object in everyday life. Its simplicity invites focus on leaf quality, water temperature, and timing rather than decorative distraction. Packaging uses 100% recycled board, printed with vegetable ink, and sealed with paper tape — compliant with UK Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements for online sellers.
