This stylish, high-end, blow-moulded teacup is the ideal way to brew High Mountain Tea using the traditional Gongfu method for one person's enjoyment. A unique control button on the inner cup releases tea into the main cup ready to drink, while the fine metal strainer retains tea leaf for the next infusion. This allows one to control how long to steep the tea. This is common practice with high quality tea leaf where short but quick repeat infusion is key to extracting its full flavour. As such this teacup is a convenient way to brew a great cup of Gongfu tea on the go.
