Persimmon & Cat Chinese Tea Ceremony Set

This tea set is crafted using traditional Chinese ceramic-making techniques, with the most distinctive feature being the auspicious motifs on the teacups – persimmons and cats. Cats are beloved worldwide, and China is no exception. The history of cats in China can be traced back 5,300 years, where they helped farmers by catching mice to protect their grain. Chinese poets often refer to cats as “cat servants.” The Sanroll teacups and teapot are adorned with round, adorable cats, giving people the feeling of cuddling with a cat while enjoying their tea.

Persimmons are a symbol of good fortune and happiness in Chinese culture, cherished by both scholars and ordinary people alike. It is common for people to place persimmons in their homes during festivals, symbolizing good luck and smooth sailing. The combination of persimmons and cats reflects the Chinese pursuit of a beautiful and fulfilling life.

This tea set is made from high-temperature-resistant clay, ensuring that all materials used are safe and non-toxic. This guarantees that tea drinkers can enjoy their perfect tea set while also having peace of mind during afternoon tea. The teacups have been baked at thousands of degrees Celsius, ensuring that all dyes are tempered, preventing color fading even with long-term use.

" 自有五白猫，鼠不侵我书。

今朝五白死，祭与饭与鱼。"

"I had a cat as pure and white as freshly fallen snow. It kept me company, playing with me, joining me in my reading, and guarding my books from the nibbling of mice. But now it has departed. I laid it to rest by the riverside, where it loved to linger, leaving behind offerings of fish and rice, hoping that, wherever it may be, it will not feel hunger."

Poet of the Song Dynasty - 梅尧臣
