An intimate mug for anyone who likes to open or close the day slowly, with loose-leaf tea. The stainless steel infuser and matching lid turn it into a single-serve brewer: the leaves go in the basket, the lid keeps the cup warm.
About the design
On a deep blue base, a tree with a heart-shaped canopy rises, with a pair of lovebirds nestled together on its branches. The heart-shaped tree is an image of love and belonging, and the paired birds are an old symbol of tenderness and devotion. A lovely pick for a partner, an anniversary, or a gift to yourself.
Material and finish
Bone china blends kaolin, feldspar and quartz with at least 35% bone ash; it is the strongest porcelain there is, with a characteristic ivory hue, fired at around 1250 °C. The 400 ml capacity holds a generous serving of tea, and the piece arrives in a gift box, so it is ready to give.
How to use it
Place loose-leaf tea in the infuser, pour over hot water and let it steep. Then lift out the basket; the lid keeps the warmth in the meantime.
Good to know
The mug is not dishwasher or microwave safe, so hand washing is recommended. That way the soft blue tone and the bird motif keep their beauty for a long time.
