Among the exquisite teaware collection at Tongxinshe Teahouse is a treasure worthy of the nickname "the amber of tea"—the Jianjing Tea Cang. It's a tea cang, an elegant vessel, and a masterful fusion of traditional craftsmanship and tea storage wisdom. Those who appreciate tea and appreciate teaware will be captivated by it.
Originating from Gejiu, Yunnan, it belongs to the Lacquer and Colored Gold series and is handcrafted by artisans. Made from natural lacquer and hand-painted, the texture of gold speckles on a black background evokes ink-splashed landscapes and the shimmering light of amber, making each piece a unique work of art. The lacquer is natural and non-toxic, with a smooth, delicate finish that feels warm to the touch, fully showcasing the gentle texture of traditional craftsmanship. The black and gold colored gold technique creates a random, multi-layered texture on the cang, creating a rustic and rich charm that adds a touch of elegant oriental poetry to any tea ceremony.
The interior of the jar is crafted from pure tin, known as a "tea refrigerator." Its excellent resistance to moisture, light, and odors ensures the long-lasting preservation of tea's aroma and contents. Whether it's precious Pu'er, rock tea, or delicate green or white tea, storing it feels like being gently enveloped by time, ensuring the tea's fragrance remains fresh and vibrant every time you open it. Measuring 100mm high and 85mm in diameter, it's portable and easy to use. It holds approximately 80g of Tieguanyin tea, and approximately 50g of rock tea, Dancong tea, Silver Needle tea, Longjing tea, and White Peony tea. Its convenient opening allows for easy access and storage, making it ideal for daily tea storage in teahouses or for traveling with tea lovers, allowing them to enjoy a fresh cup of tea at any time. Furthermore, it combines functionality, aesthetics, and collectibility, serving as both a tea storage container and an elegant piece that enhances any tea space. At Tongxinshe Teahouse, it complements the tea table with a purple clay teapot and teacups, showcasing the charm of Eastern tea. At Tongxinshe Teahouse, every teapot and every teacup tells a story. This simple teahouse holds a thousand-year legacy of lacquer craftsmanship, the ancient wisdom of tinware tea storage, and even more, the tea lover's pursuit of a quality life.
