Jing Si Teapot Set with Two Porcelain Cups

Teapots made of glass allow the drinker to watch the tea leaves dance and unfurl as they brew, or to watch tea balls unwind and expand. This Jing Si set includes a glass teapot, a wooden tray, a tea towel, and two different sizes of tea cups. The large one is the Jing, meaning quiet, and the small is Si, which means thinking; they are named as such in hopes that using this set will bring the drinker a needed moment of silence and solitude to think and meditate.

When brewing tea Gongfu style, the biggest and most common fear is steeping the tea for too long so that it becomes too strong or bitter. The larger Jing cup helps with this: it also serves as a tea pitcher, allowing the brewed tea to be poured out of the pot so that it does not continue steeping.

In addition, this teapot has a unique feature among glass pots in that its lid includes a filter and little wood button: when pouring the tea the lid will open automatically, allowing tea to flow through the filter to keep out debris and bits of leaves.

Safely Shipping: Due to the fragility of glass, it is quite difficult to ship safely. We at TeaVivre carefully and thoroughly pack out glass items in multiple layers of bubble wrap as well as five-layer strength-rated cardboard boxes to minimize any problems in shipping and delivery.
