OK, so I’m 100% one of those tea ‘connoisseurs’ who takes the way it is prepared very seriously—that being said, I think that the Jung Dae Hoon ‘T-cup’ definitely going in the right direction.
As the diagram above aptly shows, the Jung Dae Hoon ‘T-cup’ features a slanted design that allows a tea drinker such as myself to tip the mug once it has reached the perfect strength. That, or to keep the tea fresh, a person can alternate the stance to enjoy a consistent tasting tea drink. Perhaps we tea drinker take it too seriously, but we know what we like!
