Holiday Tea + Teaware Gift Sets!

West China Tea has teamed up with the lovely and talented Austin potter Mary Cotterman to put together a series of limited-edition gift sets for the holidays.  Each set includes a one-of-a-kind handmade matching teapot and teacup, perfect for pouring tea for one, and a 5-tea sampler pack of our most popular farm-direct whole-leaf teas.  There are 9 sets coming out of the kiln this week, and the sampler pack includes Su Mao Feng green tea, Milk Oolong, Mt. Nannuo Raw Black, Mt. Nannuo Pu Er, and Jiao Gu Lan herbal tea in half ounce packs.  $100 each - order yours now before they're gone!
Mary is also taking commissions for teasets for the new year.  Custom designs available at different price levels, and you can buy the tea lover in your life a gift certificate for Christmas.  They can then meet with Mary to give the specifications for their custom set.

$100/set for premade sets including teapot, teacup, and 5 teas.  Custom sets vary in price.

To order your tea set or inquire about custom set gift certificates, email teamaster@westchinateacompany.com.
