Small blue and white porcelain travel teapot (immortal peach design)

Travel Tea Set, €55. A small teapot, two cups, and their pouch – tea in a compact version, to take everywhere with you. Even smaller than our first travel set, this one slips into a bag pocket. A small blue and white porcelain pouring teapot, two cups of different sizes, a cloth, and a soft pouch that protects the whole set. Everything you need to prepare a proper gong fu cha tea at the office, on the train, or on a walk, with the least possible bulk. White porcelain with blue and white decoration, hand-painted peony and chrysanthemum flowers. On each piece, a medallion of fruit painted in orange tones and a cartouche of Chinese calligraphy. The edges are highlighted with a thin gold border. The perforated lid retains the leaves when pouring. Why this small teapot The most compact format. A small pouring teapot, two cups, and everything fits into a pouch that fits in your hand. This is the ultimate take-away set: small enough never to stay at home, complete enough to prepare tea properly, in short and successive infusions. Blue and white, hand-painted. The floral decoration, the fruit medallion, and the calligraphy are hand-painted, piece by piece. The blue and white, qinghua in the Chinese tradition, is enhanced here with orange touches and a golden border. No two sets are ever exactly alike. A clever teapot. The lid is perforated: it acts as a filter and retains the leaves when the teapot is tilted to serve. No need for a ball or strainer, the action is direct and clean. What the pouch contains Teapot 1 small porcelain pouring teapot, perforated filter lid Cups 2 cups of different sizes (one large, one small) Cloth 1 fabric tea cloth Pouch 1 soft, transparent, zipped carrying pouch with wrist strap Decoration Blue and white floral, painted fruit medallion, calligraphic cartouche, golden border First use and daily use Before first use. Rinse the teapot and cups with clear water, then boil them once. This is also the gesture that starts each session: a little hot water in the teapot and cups to warm them before infusing. Preparing tea. Place the leaves in the teapot, pour water at the appropriate temperature for the chosen tea, infuse for a few moments, then tilt: the perforated lid retains the leaves and the liquor flows into the cups. The small capacity encourages short and repeated infusions, extending a little with each pass. When traveling. Let each piece dry thoroughly before storing. The cloth is used to wipe and secure in the pouch. Once zipped, the pouch protects the porcelain and fits into a bag pocket. Maintenance Wash by hand, in lukewarm water, without aggressive detergent: clear water is usually sufficient and preserves both the porcelain and the painted decoration. Avoid dishwashers, microwaves, and sudden thermal shocks. Dry each piece before storing. Over time, the porcelain remembers the teas you prepare in it: this is what creates the patina of a beautiful object.
