The bag announces the set before anything is unpacked.
A hand-painted persimmon branch — orange fruit, ink stems, a few leaves — decorates the linen drawstring carry bag that wraps around the teapot. The bag cinches with a fabric tie at the top, which makes it look like a small wrapped parcel rather than a storage pouch. It's the kind of presentation that makes unpacking feel like part of the experience rather than just a step before the tea.
The teapot. 170ml, in a matte sandy stoneware with low-relief floral carving across the surface — subtle enough that it reads as texture at distance, detailed enough to notice up close. The base has an unglazed terracotta ring, which grounds the pale matte body with a warm earthy tone. The lid design is a quick-pour style: tilt, pour, no separate strainer required.
What's in the set. A 170ml teapot, two 100ml cups in the same sandy matte ceramic, and a linen carry bag (10 × 13 cm). The two-cup configuration makes this a set for sharing — one pot, two cups, the natural format for tea between two people on a trip, at a desk, or in a room that isn't home.
The 100ml cups are generous for a travel format — large enough for a proper sip, small enough to feel appropriate for gongfu-style pouring from a 170ml pot. The matte ceramic holds heat well and feels different in the hand than glazed porcelain — warmer, with more grip.
For autumn gifting, a travel companion gift, a slow desk morning, or anyone who drinks tea the way the season calls for it.
Hand-painted persimmon motif on the bag varies naturally. Low-relief carving on ceramic varies slightly between pieces. Minor glaze tone variation is normal.
