This tea mug comes with a stainless steel infuser and a lid, making loose-leaf tea simple and convenient to brew. with a white mandala design.
About the design
The mandala is a concentric geometric pattern organised around a centre, a sacred image in the Hindu and Buddhist traditions. It is known as a symbol of wholeness and the inner centre, also used as a focal point for meditation. The design on a white base lends a clean, calm mood to tea time.
Material and finish
Bone china mixes 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 is enough for a generous serving of tea, and the piece arrives in a gift box, so it makes an excellent present.
How to use
Place the loose-leaf tea in the infuser, pour over hot water and let it steep. Then lift out the infuser; the lid keeps the tea warm in the meantime.
Who it is for
The symbolic design and gift-box finish make it a favourite present: it suits tea lovers and anyone who treasures a quiet morning or evening tea ritual, just as well as a desk or a reading nook. Brewing loose-leaf tea in the infuser becomes a small daily ritual, in which the shape, the scent and the warm cup together slow the pace.
Good to know
The mug is not dishwasher or microwave safe, so hand washing is recommended. This keeps its beauty and design for a long time.
