How to Use

To maximize the performance of this jade porcelain vessel, begin by pre-warming the cup with hot water. This stabilizes the temperature of the porcelain, ensuring that your tea does not lose its heat prematurely. Pour your steeped tea into the cup, observing how the golden interior glaze enhances the color of the tea liquor. Hold the cup gently to feel the smooth, jade-like texture before taking slow sips to experience the concentrated aromatics.

Care & Safety

To preserve the integrity of the hand-written calligraphy and the specialized glaze, this cup must be hand-washed only. Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not place this item in a dishwasher or microwave. Avoid sudden thermal shock; do not move the cup directly from an ice-cold environment to boiling water. Store in a dedicated tea cabinet or a padded display box to prevent chipping or impact damage.
