A Teapot Made From Chocolate?

teasenz — Wed, 10 Sep 2014 06:04:39 +0000

BBC spots a hand-crafted teapot made from dark chocolate. The teapot contains 65% cocoa solids and guess what: it brews a cup of tea with ‘hints’ of chocolate. It was filled with chocolate, shaken to remove air bubbles, and the excess chocolate was poured off and the cast teapot allowed to dry. The process was repeated until the desired thickness of chocolate was achieved. It took the team more than two hours to produce the myth-busting pot but the resulting cups of tea were overseen by Marty Jopson of the BBC’s The One Show. Besides the coolness factor of this teapot will it actually be useful? Well, let’s say that you should do this with your delicate & fine teas, but besides that, why not give it a try!

Chinese Art Collector Buys 35 Million USD The Wine Cup (Meiyintang), But Sips Tea

Liu Yiqian, a Chinese multimillionaire, recently bought a 35 million USD wine cup from the Ming Dynasty, but got in trouble online by showing a picture of himself sipping tea out of it. This is what the rich art collector said: “Emperor Qianlong of the Ming Dynasty has used it, now I’ve used it” and “I just wanted to see how it felt.” The cup, he added, “isn’t a commercial product appropriate for the masses.” On Weibo, a Chinese social media site, Chinese art lovers and people in the lower classes of society are furious: “You think you can drink it and become immortal?” “In fact, isn’t it just a way to satisfy your vanity?” The reason of all this rage is because this ‘chicken cup’ (also known as ‘Mei Yin Tang’) probably the most […]

I discovered this lovely video that will be very entertaining to watch. It’s a short film about tea cup makers in Kumartuli in Calcutta, India. The maker shot the video using a Canon 5D Mk II and GoPro Hero. Check it out! What I love about this video is that it has a fast pace and nice music that goes with it.

The History of That Tea Set

teasenz — Fri, 31 May 2013 05:26:26 +0000

Tea isn’t quite so proper these days. There isn’t really the ceremony of bringing out a tea set, setting out a pot, milk and sugar, and drinking tea around the table from delicate tea cups. Tea seems more utilitarian – with thermoses and tumblers with strainers built in, tea makers that make whole pots of tea like coffee pots – there doesn’t seem to be as much gathering for a “tea”. Though every once and a while your grandma, or aunt, or maybe that random friends brings that tea set out of the dark and you remember what it is to have “tea time” again. There’s something beautiful and interesting entrenched in the tradition of having tea the way others have had tea before you and it’s all in that porcelain or silver set that you’re […]

Tea drinking has gotten more awesome these days. From selling mugs and tea pots with grips like a gun, mugs that change color and design according to heat, a mug where the handle is brass knuckles, to big figures like Barack Obama and Celebrities like Lady Gaga drinking the stuff constantly – tea has become pretty epic. Tea is not to be messed with, especially with the recent news that a woman fought off a mugger with her cup of tea. In Pennsylvania on March 7th, a woman, leaving the Wawa, was approached by a man who demanded her wallet. The woman refuses to give her wallet to him and is trying to get away. To defend herself, she tossed her hot tea in his face and alerted another citizen, who in turn called the […]
