99.99% Purity Silver-Lined QingLong Imperial Chicken Cu

Description

This beautiful 50ml cup is printed (and appears to also be painted) with a pattern that resembles, but does not seek to exactly replicate, the most famous Chinese tea cup around: the QingLong chicken cup! This version is lined with 99.99% purity silver, which is believed to lend very interesting effects to tea. I do believe the silver lining improves aroma and enhances flavor, while also smoothening the liquor. This may be due to silver ions that are contributed from the lining. I initially purchased one of these cups to test the effectiveness of silver on tea liquor without spending more for a solid silver cup. This was a good compromise, and it also scratched my itch for a replica chicken cup!

Whether or not silver makes a significant difference is a matter for discussion. This is, however, a very pretty cup, an excellent conversation piece, and the silver lining really helps highlight the color of the liquor within. Even if you aren't sold on the benefits of silver, this is a great cup and would also make a great gift for the tea aficionados in your life!

This cup comes in a lightly padded case. Please note purchases of these cups may delay your order by one to two weeks.

Wholesale pricing is available on these cups! Feel free to contact me for more information.
