Tea Orange Cup (Ba Gua Series: Sky Box)

Jesse Says:

This tea cup and it’s lil’ orange artwork was made to go along with our Tea Orange Series!

After spending over a year to source fantastic tea oranges and fill them with high-quality tea, I figured the tea cup that went to our subscribers when they received their tea orange samplers should also be orange-themed.

I hired an artist in China to paint us a tea orange in traditional Chinese “Shan Shui” style, showing her the pictures from our (as of then unfinished) tea orange sourcing project. I think she captured the green freshness of the special type of unripe small mandarins used to make the tea oranges very well!

Then, we put the art on these beautifully shaped cups made of Dehua kaolin white porcelain with small, golden feet, and figured they would be perfect.

With a size of 90 ml, it is a good middle-ground between the small Chinese-style cups and a full-palm sized teacup.

All our tea equipment passes all lead testing up to and beyond EU quality standards. It’s a great teacup!
