Gaiwan from Ms. Sheng | Duan Ni
The unique tone of this Yixing gaiwan is the result of multiple firings: six firings rather than two and this Duan Ni (yellow clay) piece is transformed into a complex material. As a finishing touch, the very last firing in the wood kiln gives rarity and richness to Ms Sheng's work.
Long Jing Bai Ye
Rolled in the classic style of Long Jing green teas in China, this is a beautiful creation from our producer of Huiming, Mr. He.
Camellia Sinensis Duo Cup | Antique Blue
This cup was designed by the Camellia Sinensis team in partnership with a ceramic workshop in Taiwan. Made of porcelain, the pure white glazed interior finish is perfect to enhance the colour of the liquor of either an entire gaiwan infuson or a shared teapot. An elegant everyday accessory with its pleasing curves and practical size.
