Handmade Small Teacup from Authentic Taiwan Clay

Description

This small handmade teacup from Taiwan is perfect for dark teas and roasted oolongs. It’s light, thin, and durable, and pays homage to the region’s long and prestigious tea traditions.

Teaware made from Taiwanese clay is highly sought-after by tea enthusiasts. It features a unique mineral composition that creates a sturdy structure during the firing process.

What’s more, the porous nature of the local clay means that every cup of tea leaves its mark. Volatile oils soak into the clay and give the tea a slightly different and more complex flavor, while also leaving a visible patina.

You can enjoy any type of tea in this small teacup. However, dark teas and heavily-roasted oolongs work best. The minerals in the clay soften some of the bitter compounds in darker teas.
