As Christmas approaches, here at Canton Tea Co. we have found ourselves discussing which Canton products we’d like to wake up to on Christmas morning. We thought we’d share our choices with you…
Jennifer: I'd like a Lotus Flower Tea Bowl
Jennifer, Company Director
A couple of Lotus Flower Tea Bowls would go down well. You need at least two to appreciate the small differences in the delicate handpainting. Such fine porcelain would not be for everyday as I’m a quite clumsy – but to share some calm tea-drinking time with friends and my favourite Green Tea, Superior Dragon Well.
Edgar wants another Yixing Teapot
Edgar, Company Director
Its got to be a Yixing teapot, I’ve got one for every type of tea but I’d still like the Zhi Tong to add to my collection. It pours really quickly so it’d be perfect for brewing our Canton Special Puerh, my new favourite tea.
Dan REALLY wants some Pouchong
Dan, Operations Manager
A Canister of Hand-picked Pouchong for me, please. And a Gaiwan to brew it in. I’m a convert to traditional tea-making methods now, and the Gaiwan is my favourite way to brew whole leaf tea.
Kate: Can I have a Shen Glass Tea Set please?
Kate, Online Communications Co-ordinator
I’ve been lusting after the Shen Glass Tea Bowl Set. Its like a grown-up version of the tea set you had when you were little; I’d invite my girlfriends round for afternoon tea, and chat over little cups of Jasmine Silver Needle.
Flowering Tea and Teapot for Martina
Martina, Distribution & Admin Assistant
The Flowering Tea Gift Box and Round Glass Teapot would be lovely. The buds of green tea and flowers open into gorgeous blossoms in the teapot and look so pretty. Its a fun way to share tea with friends and family over Christmas.
A nice cup of Chai for Mark
Mark, Distribution Assistant
The aroma of the Canton Chai is wonderful, really Christmassy. I’d love a good stock of that and a Piao-I to brew it in.
