This high-fired porcelain is unparalleled, and used at the competition level for the way it shows a tea's truest “highest resolution” flavor, texture and aroma.

The result is a level of teaware that is hard to even capture in photos, pieces that glow in the light and are a true pleasure to hold and sip from.
