This box was created with Manon Clouzeau's ceramics around the theme of pu er teas prepared with gong fu cha.
In Chinese, gong fu cha means "taking time for tea". This way of preparing tea aims to bring out the aromas through a very quick infusion of the leaves (1 min) with very hot water.
It is composed of :
- a bowl with a lid acting as a mini teapot, named gaiwan in the ritual of gong fu cha, with a capacity of 10cl
- a pourer to homogenize the tea liquor and to serve the tea, named chahai in the gong fu cha ritual
- 3 small bowls with a capacity of 4cl each
- 2 monodoses of 7g of pu er calibrated for the capacity of the gaiwan : the Pu er Sheng de Fengqing and the Pu er Sheng de Jingmai
Each handmade ceramic is unique. The shades may vary from one piece to another.
