Hualien Clay Handmade Tea Cups

Regular price $15.00


After years of searching we have finally found some tea ware deserving space on the Mountain Stream Teas website. We couldn’t be happier!

Made from the clay on which the studio is built, only Master Zhuang uses this earth to make pottery. The clay material is meticulously prepared on site and is absolutely unique. The site was used in the past to make bricks in the Japanese era and has only recently begun to be used again. All works are hand thrown and one of a kind.

These cups are thick, heavy and beautiful. Holding about 75ml of liquid, we enjoy them as functional works of art and enjoy how they impact the taste of our teas. The difference in taste that the glazed vs unglazed cups impart into the tea is quite a lot of fun, if you are into that type of thing of course. In any case, they are certainly beautiful little pieces of Taiwan that you can hold in your hand!

Due to the extra weight and size of this tea ware we have to charge extra for shipping so we can keep these beautiful pieces safe in transport. The extra is included in the price.

**With this test run we have a total of about 30 cups. If you would like more please let us know and we will get them made!

It is great

Over time I started to eliminate pieces of teaware and accessories from my daily tea set so I have to wash less stuff at the end and it is easy to carry around from room to room. I went through multiple cups for every day use and nothing seemed right. This cup is the only one that was perfect in a sense of being comfortable to hold, easy to grip, capacity, being sturdy yet not heavy, pretty and elegant. It matches the volume of my gaiwan exactly so I did not need anything else to enjoy my tea every day. I have used it for over a year now and I am really happy with it. Ordered a second one.

This is my new favourite piece of teaware

Over the years, I have aquired a small but fine collection of teaware and I love every piece dearly. This cup however is my absolute favourite and my most treasured piece ever since unwrapping the package. The size is perfect. It has an elegant, slim base, yet is surprisingly hard to tip over (I have a nosey and slightly clumsy cat with strong opinions about my placement of teaware during a tasting session).
But what I want to praise the most is how stunningly made this teacup is. Words really don't do it justice. I do believe, that it is even more gorgeous in person and my only regret is, that I did not purchase more :)

Wonderful Tea Ware!

Exceptional! These cups have become a staple in my tea drinking experience. They compliment the Hualien clay teapot I bought earlier this year perfectly!
