Feng Qing Golden Tip:
Some people think that the more the golden tip, the better the quality of a black tea. For a real connoisseur, however, it is the taste profile made possible by properly managing all the variables throughout production that matters. Don’t be convinced by the rich dark chocolate aroma of the dry leaves either. What matters is the round and complex body in the clear deep golden red liquor possible only with the first flush leaves from the deep mountains in Fengqing, the origin of Dianhong.

Zhenghe Mudan Wang
While White Peony from Fuding tastes more floral, that from the other earliest region, Zhenghe, tastes longer and deeper. The more tedious curing process is marked by the darker colors on the leaves. While many prize Silver Needle Supreme for its delicate taste and furry appearance, a superb traditional white tea as White Peony Classic Long delivers a more impressive taste experience. That may explain why this Mudan Wang, aka King of White Peony, is considered the best and most classical representation from the origin, and a favourite by many tea connoisseurs. As most aficionados prefer it, we have always matured this tea adequately before releasing it in the shop. The current stock is a single batch first flush ( i.e. pre-Qing-ming ) that we have matured in our environment since its harvest in 2019.

Zhenghe Old Style White Tea:
Before there were the Dai Bai cultivars for the modern White Peony, it had first been indigenous Cai Cha for producing white teas in Fujian. A lesser looking tea plant but capable of a deeper and rounder taste profile, such sexually propagated tea bushes still exist today. Presenting Tea Hong’s very own Premodern Peony — patiently processed like it used to be a century ago, and matured to our tea master’s personal liking. All the wholesomeness of white tea with a fine taste that you can keep drinking throughout the day.

Brahma glazed earthenware teacup, set of 2
The pros in using a teacup with very thin wall is that the tea will cool faster. This is especially useful when the infusion temperature is high and from a relatively larger teapot where the temperature of the tea wouldn’t drop as much as when using a smaller infusion vessel. However, there is a problem with such a thin wall — the hot tea will easily make it too hot to hold. That is why there is this sharper curvature underneath the brim. This classic “piē kou 撇口” form was developed with the idea that the cup can be rested between two fingers immediately below the opening of the cup where there is the least heat. This curve is also a hidden marker for the optimum tea level for this feature to be comfortably useable.
How people usually hold the cup
How the cup used to be held traditionally amongst tea connoisseurs. A easier way especially when the tea is very hot.
This kind of simple traditional daily common sense in tea is not as popularly known as it used to be in the tea circle when I was young. Hopefully more efforts can be in place to propagate them not only for a deeper enjoyment of tea and the experience, but also for an environment to facilitate the growth the true tea drinker population.
The technical challenge of making such a thin cup is high. That is why very thin small cups from antiquity are often displayed in museums marking their technical wonders.
This is a handmade item. Please expect slight variations in colour, pattern, shape and details from the particular ones used in these pictures.

Drum Gongfu Cups: Set of Three
Cups, TeawareUnlike a wide mouth cup such as the lamp shade, or a tall cup such as a magnolia shape, a drum shape cup has a lesser ratio in surface area to volume, allowing it to hold heat relatively longer. As such, there is an advantage when the intention is to have a few sips from a cup, or when you do not want the tea to cool down too quickly because of the ambience or because the infused tea is not that hot in the first place. 3 cups in each unit.
