How to Use and Care for It

• Rinse with warm water before first use.
• Warm the piece with hot water before brewing so the tea stays hot and the porcelain is not shocked by a sudden temperature change.
• Hand wash with warm water and a soft cloth; a little mild soap is fine for glazed porcelain. Avoid abrasive pads, especially on painted or gilded designs.
• Do not put it on a stove or in the microwave if it has metallic or gold decoration.

FAQ

Why are Chinese teacups so small?

In gongfu brewing, tea is brewed in short, strong infusions and shared out in small portions, so each sip is hot and fresh and you can taste how the tea changes from steep to steep.

Is it dishwasher safe?

We recommend hand washing to keep the glaze and decoration in good condition.
