Glass cup “Julia”
Glass teaware seems like a thing of the modern age, but on the contrary, glass teaware is part of the ancient history of tea.
In China, production of glass teapots, cups and other equipment began a long time ago. Most likely during the reign of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the production of tea equipment was much smaller and everything was produced in small batches. Glassware for preparing and drinking tea was considered a work of art and often was served for artistic enjoyment.
Glass teapots and mugs offer a design that is considered one of the most refined, modern and elegant.”Julia” glass cup allows a view of the opening of the petals and flower buds that can be found in some tea blends such as Mei Gui oolong. It is ideal for white tea, oolong tea, as well as for fruit blends with large pieces of fruit. Although green, black and similar teas can also be prepared in it.
The glass makes it possible to observe the change in color of the liquid. Little by little, the leaves color the liquid in shades characteristic for the type of tea being prepared. In fruit trees that are mixed with hibiscus, the shades can vary from a rosy red color all the way to a red-purple shade. While oolong teas are golden yellow in color. A person who has been preparing tea for some time will be able to recognize by the color when the tea has reached the perfect point.
