This product was discovered in an interview with Liz Kwon. Read the full interview here.
With the traditional tea kettle come authentic tea cups. They are small and made of celadon (a type of jade-green porcelain) with three pieces to it, the cup, the filter and the lid (which also serves as a saucer). The filter has tiny holes only on the bottom, and after the tea is brewed, the filter is removed and placed on the upside down lid. The double-walled construction keeps the cup cool.
White Tiger doesn’t serve their tea in them anymore unfortunately as Liz explained it was causing a lot of mess. "People would pull it out to see if the tea was done and then push it back in but the law of physics does not do well with that. You have to do it slowly as holes are so tiny." But Liz uses them at home.
