The pot is a special kind of Ru - a tricky, difficult to pull off white glaze. This is not your classic porcelain. Ru has a softness and inner glow that comes through in the light. It feels completely different, but in a subtle and understated way.

The cups are fully hand made pieces, thrown by hand and painted by hand to a staggering level of fine detail. The thinness of these pieces piece and what the artists were able to achieve is unreal. Jingdezhen porcelain is on another level. It is no wonder it is the material of choice for professional tasters since the firing temperature means a more perfect vitrification and better reflection of aromatics.

Finally, the tea board itself is made with lovely yew wood and a striking aromatic resin. This board smells like a forest when it is hot or covered in tea, bringing a piece of the outdoors to your daily brew.

All together, this is a set for truly enjoying every sip.
