Design and Heat Retention
The Jian Zhan Tenmoku Teaware traditionally used for tea appreciation. The thick body and high-temperature firing result in durable porcelain. Due to the thick walls, the tenmoku teaware retains heat longer than thin-walled porcelain. At room temperature (25°C / 77°F), hot liquid inside a Jian Zhan cup typically stays warm for 15-30 minutes.
