The Great Eye January 10 2014

 

The Great Eye

Sometimes I imagine my puerh tea is a great eye staring out from the deep beyond of some murky darkness. What timeless wisdom is hidden in the depths of this cup?


Yixing Teapot with Cups December 29 2013

 

We've had this tea set here at Crimson Lotus Tea with us for a little while now and it is time it found a new home. It's a good set and it comes with 5 tea cups made from the same clay that is used in the teapot. It will be an excellent addition to your collection.
